As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of skill and luck. The aim is to shift your pieces safely around the board to your home board while at the same time your opposition shifts their pieces toward their home board in the opposite direction. With opposing player pieces heading in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for specific techniques at particular instances. Here are the two final Backgammon tactics to round out your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the purpose of the blocking plan is to hamper the opponents ability to shift her pieces, the Priming Game plan is to completely stop any activity of the opposing player by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s chips will either get hit, or end up in a battered position if she ever attempts to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be built anywhere between point 2 and point eleven in your half of the board. As soon as you have successfully built the prime to prevent the movement of your opponent, your competitor does not even get a chance to toss the dice, that means you move your chips and toss the dice yet again. You will be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Strategy
The goals of the Back Game plan and the Blocking Game technique are similar – to hinder your opponent’s positions with hope to boost your odds of winning, however the Back Game technique utilizes alternate techniques to achieve that. The Back Game strategy is often utilized when you are far behind your competitor. To participate in Backgammon with this technique, you need to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This technique is more difficult than others to use in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your pieces and how the checkers are relocated is partially the result of the dice roll.
