As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of talent and good luck. The goal is to shift your chips carefully around the board to your inner board and at the same time your opponent moves their pieces toward their home board in the opposite direction. With opposing player pieces shifting in opposite directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for specific strategies at specific times. Here are the last two Backgammon plans to finish off your game.

The Priming Game Strategy

If the purpose of the blocking tactic is to hamper the opponents ability to shift her pieces, the Priming Game tactic is to absolutely barricade any activity of the opponent by creating a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s chips will either get hit, or end up in a damaged position if she at all tries to escape the wall. The trap of the prime can be built anyplace between point two and point eleven in your game board. As soon as you’ve successfully assembled the prime to block the movement of your competitor, the competitor does not even get to roll the dice, that means you shift your pieces and roll the dice again. You’ll win the game for sure.

The Back Game Technique

The goals of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game plan are very similar – to harm your competitor’s positions hoping to improve your odds of winning, however the Back Game tactic uses seperate techniques to achieve that. The Back Game technique is often utilized when you’re far behind your opponent. To participate in Backgammon with this plan, you need to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This tactic is more challenging than others to employ in Backgammon seeing as it requires careful movement of your chips and how the pieces are relocated is partly the outcome of the dice roll.
