As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of ability and pure luck. The aim is to shift your checkers carefully around the board to your inside board while at the same time your opposition shifts their checkers toward their inside board in the opposite direction. With competing player checkers heading in opposite directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for specific techniques at particular times. Here are the 2 final Backgammon plans to complete your game.

The Priming Game Strategy

If the aim of the blocking plan is to hamper the opponents ability to move their pieces, the Priming Game tactic is to absolutely stop any movement of the opponent by creating a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s pieces will either get bumped, or end up in a damaged position if he ever attempts to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be built anyplace between point two and point eleven in your board. Once you’ve successfully assembled the prime to prevent the movement of your competitor, your competitor doesn’t even get a chance to toss the dice, that means you shift your pieces and roll the dice again. You will win the game for sure.

The Back Game Technique

The objectives of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game tactic are very similar – to harm your competitor’s positions with hope to better your chances of winning, but the Back Game plan uses different tactics to achieve that. The Back Game plan is generally used when you are far behind your opponent. To play Backgammon with this tactic, you have to hold 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This plan is more challenging than others to play in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your pieces and how the checkers are relocated is partly the result of the dice toss.
