As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of skill and good luck. The goal is to move your pieces safely around the game board to your inner board while at the same time your opposition moves their checkers toward their inside board in the opposing direction. With opposing player checkers shifting in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the need for particular strategies at particular instances. Here are the two final Backgammon plans to finish off your game.

The Priming Game Tactic

If the aim of the blocking tactic is to hamper the opponents ability to shift his pieces, the Priming Game tactic is to completely block any movement of the opposing player by creating a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s pieces will either get bumped, or result a battered position if she ever attempts to escape the wall. The trap of the prime can be established anywhere between point 2 and point eleven in your board. Once you’ve successfully built the prime to block the movement of the opponent, the opponent does not even get a chance to toss the dice, and you move your chips and roll the dice yet again. You will win the game for sure.

The Back Game Plan

The objectives of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game strategy are very similar – to hurt your opponent’s positions in hope to better your chances of succeeding, but the Back Game tactic utilizes alternate tactics to do that. The Back Game strategy is frequently employed when you’re far behind your opponent. To compete in Backgammon with this tactic, you need to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This technique is more complex than others to use in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your pieces and how the checkers are relocated is partly the outcome of the dice roll.
