As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of ability and pure luck. The aim is to move your pieces carefully around the board to your home board and at the same time your opposition shifts their chips toward their home board in the opposing direction. With competing player pieces moving in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for specific tactics at particular times. Here are the last two Backgammon strategies to round out your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the aim of the blocking strategy is to hamper the opponents ability to move her pieces, the Priming Game tactic is to absolutely stop any movement of the opponent by building a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s checkers will either get hit, or result a damaged position if he/she ever tries to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be setup anywhere between point two and point 11 in your half of the board. As soon as you’ve successfully built the prime to block the movement of your competitor, the opponent does not even get to roll the dice, that means you move your checkers and toss the dice yet again. You will be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Technique
The objectives of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game tactic are very similar – to harm your competitor’s positions in hope to better your odds of winning, however the Back Game tactic relies on alternate tactics to achieve that. The Back Game strategy is frequently employed when you are far behind your competitor. To compete in Backgammon with this tactic, you have to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This strategy is more complex than others to employ in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your chips and how the pieces are moved is partially the outcome of the dice roll.
