As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of skill and good luck. The aim is to shift your pieces safely around the board to your inner board and at the same time your opposition shifts their chips toward their inside board in the opposite direction. With competing player pieces moving in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for specific strategies at specific times. Here are the last two Backgammon tactics to complete your game.

The Priming Game Strategy

If the goal of the blocking plan is to hamper the opponents ability to shift his checkers, the Priming Game plan is to absolutely barricade any movement of the opposing player by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s chips will either get bumped, or end up in a damaged position if he at all attempts to escape the wall. The trap of the prime can be established anywhere between point 2 and point eleven in your game board. As soon as you’ve successfully built the prime to stop the movement of your opponent, your competitor does not even get to roll the dice, that means you shift your checkers and toss the dice yet again. You will win the game for sure.

The Back Game Strategy

The goals of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game tactic are very similar – to hinder your competitor’s positions hoping to better your odds of succeeding, however the Back Game strategy relies on seperate tactics to achieve that. The Back Game plan is frequently used when you are far behind your competitor. To compete in Backgammon with this strategy, you have to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This technique is more challenging than others to use in Backgammon because it requires careful movement of your pieces and how the pieces are moved is partly the outcome of the dice roll.
