As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of talent and pure luck. The aim is to move your pieces carefully around the board to your home board and at the same time your opposing player moves their checkers toward their home board in the opposing direction. With opposing player pieces heading in opposite directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for particular techniques at specific times. Here are the last two Backgammon plans to finish off your game.

The Priming Game Tactic

If the goal of the blocking tactic is to slow down the opponent to shift his pieces, the Priming Game tactic is to completely stop any movement of the opponent by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s chips will either get bumped, or result a battered position if he/she ever tries to escape the wall. The trap of the prime can be setup anywhere between point 2 and point eleven in your half of the board. After you have successfully constructed the prime to prevent the activity of your competitor, your opponent does not even get a chance to roll the dice, and you move your chips and toss the dice again. You’ll win the game for sure.

The Back Game Technique

The aims of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game plan are similar – to hinder your opponent’s positions in hope to improve your chances of succeeding, however the Back Game plan utilizes seperate tactics to achieve that. The Back Game strategy is frequently used when you are far behind your opponent. To compete in Backgammon with this strategy, you have to control 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single piece) late in the game. This plan is more challenging than others to employ in Backgammon because it requires careful movement of your pieces and how the checkers are moved is partly the outcome of the dice toss.
