As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of skill and pure luck. The goal is to move your pieces carefully around the game board to your home board while at the same time your opponent moves their checkers toward their inner board in the opposing direction. With opposing player checkers shifting in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for particular tactics at specific times. Here are the last 2 Backgammon techniques to complete your game.

The Priming Game Plan

If the goal of the blocking plan is to hamper the opponents ability to shift their chips, the Priming Game tactic is to absolutely stop any movement of the opponent by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s chips will either get hit, or result a battered position if she at all attempts to escape the wall. The trap of the prime can be built anywhere between point two and point eleven in your board. Once you have successfully built the prime to block the activity of your opponent, your competitor does not even get a chance to toss the dice, that means you move your checkers and roll the dice yet again. You’ll be a winner for sure.

The Back Game Plan

The objectives of the Back Game plan and the Blocking Game tactic are very similar – to hinder your competitor’s positions in hope to improve your odds of winning, however the Back Game technique utilizes seperate techniques to achieve that. The Back Game tactic is generally employed when you are far behind your competitor. To participate in Backgammon with this strategy, you need to control 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This strategy is more challenging than others to use in Backgammon because it requires careful movement of your checkers and how the checkers are moved is partially the result of the dice roll.
