As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of skill and good luck. The aim is to move your checkers safely around the board to your home board and at the same time your opposing player moves their chips toward their home board in the opposite direction. With opposing player chips shifting in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the need for particular tactics at specific times. Here are the two final Backgammon strategies to complete your game.

The Priming Game Tactic

If the purpose of the blocking strategy is to hamper the opponents ability to move their checkers, the Priming Game tactic is to absolutely stop any activity of the opposing player by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s chips will either get hit, or result a damaged position if he/she at all attempts to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be built anyplace between point 2 and point eleven in your half of the board. After you’ve successfully built the prime to prevent the activity of the competitor, your competitor does not even get to toss the dice, and you move your checkers and roll the dice yet again. You will win the game for sure.

The Back Game Strategy

The aims of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game technique are very similar – to harm your competitor’s positions hoping to boost your chances of winning, but the Back Game technique uses alternate techniques to achieve that. The Back Game plan is frequently utilized when you’re far behind your competitor. To participate in Backgammon with this strategy, you need to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single checker) late in the game. This strategy is more complex than others to employ in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your checkers and how the pieces are relocated is partly the result of the dice toss.
