As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of ability and luck. The goal is to move your checkers carefully around the game board to your inside board while at the same time your opponent shifts their checkers toward their home board in the opposite direction. With competing player checkers moving in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for particular strategies at particular instances. Here are the last two Backgammon tactics to complete your game.

The Priming Game Tactic

If the goal of the blocking tactic is to slow down the opponent to move his pieces, the Priming Game strategy is to absolutely stop any movement of the opposing player by building a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s checkers will either get hit, or end up in a damaged position if he/she ever tries to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be established anywhere between point 2 and point eleven in your board. As soon as you’ve successfully assembled the prime to stop the activity of the opponent, your opponent doesn’t even get to toss the dice, that means you move your checkers and toss the dice again. You will be a winner for sure.

The Back Game Tactic

The objectives of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game plan are very similar – to harm your competitor’s positions in hope to better your odds of succeeding, but the Back Game technique uses seperate techniques to do that. The Back Game tactic is frequently utilized when you’re far behind your opponent. To play Backgammon with this plan, you need to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This plan is more complex than others to use in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your chips and how the pieces are relocated is partly the outcome of the dice toss.
