As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of talent and luck. The aim is to shift your checkers safely around the game board to your home board and at the same time your opponent shifts their chips toward their inside board in the opposing direction. With opposing player pieces moving in opposite directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for specific tactics at particular instances. Here are the two final Backgammon strategies to finish off your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the aim of the blocking strategy is to slow down the opponent to shift her pieces, the Priming Game plan is to completely stop any activity of the opposing player by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s chips will either get bumped, or end up in a bad position if he/she ever tries to leave the wall. The trap 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 constructed the prime to prevent the activity of the competitor, the opponent doesn’t even get to roll the dice, that means you move your checkers and roll the dice again. You’ll be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Technique
The aims of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game strategy are very similar – to hinder your opponent’s positions in hope to better your odds of succeeding, however the Back Game tactic utilizes seperate techniques to do that. The Back Game plan is frequently employed when you’re far behind your competitor. To play Backgammon with this strategy, you have to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This technique is more challenging than others to play in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your pieces and how the checkers are moved is partially the outcome of the dice toss.
