As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of talent and good luck. The goal is to shift your pieces carefully around the game board to your home board and at the same time your opposition shifts their chips toward their inside board in the opposite direction. With competing player chips moving in opposite directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for specific techniques at particular times. Here are the last two Backgammon techniques to complete your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the aim of the blocking tactic is to hamper the opponents ability to shift their checkers, the Priming Game strategy is to completely block any activity of the opposing player by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s pieces will either get bumped, or result a damaged position if she at all tries to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be setup anyplace between point 2 and point 11 in your game board. Once you’ve successfully assembled the prime to block the activity of the competitor, the opponent does not even get to toss the dice, that means you move your pieces and toss the dice yet again. You’ll be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Technique
The goals of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game plan are very similar – to harm your competitor’s positions with hope to improve your chances of winning, however the Back Game strategy uses different techniques to achieve that. The Back Game tactic is often employed when you’re far behind your competitor. To participate in Backgammon with this plan, you need to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This plan is more challenging than others to use in Backgammon because it requires careful movement of your pieces and how the checkers are relocated is partly the outcome of the dice roll.
