As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of talent and good luck. The aim is to shift your pieces carefully around the board to your inner board and at the same time your opposition moves their pieces toward their home board in the opposing direction. With competing player chips moving in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for specific techniques at particular instances. Here are the two final Backgammon techniques to complete your game.

The Priming Game Strategy

If the purpose of the blocking plan is to slow down the opponent to move her checkers, the Priming Game plan is to completely block any activity of the opponent by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s pieces will either get bumped, or result a battered position if he ever tries to escape the wall. The trap of the prime can be established anyplace between point 2 and point 11 in your board. Once you’ve successfully built the prime to stop the movement of your opponent, the opponent does not even get to toss the dice, that means you shift your chips and roll the dice yet again. You’ll be a winner for sure.

The Back Game Tactic

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 technique utilizes seperate tactics to do that. The Back Game plan is commonly employed when you are far behind your competitor. To play Backgammon with this tactic, you need to control 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This technique is more complex than others to employ in Backgammon because it requires careful movement of your chips and how the checkers are relocated is partly the result of the dice roll.
