As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of ability and good luck. The goal is to move your checkers safely around the game board to your inside board and at the same time your opposition shifts their checkers toward their home board in the opposing direction. With opposing player checkers heading in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the need for particular techniques at particular times. Here are the last two Backgammon strategies to complete your game.

The Priming Game Strategy

If the aim of the blocking plan is to slow down the opponent to shift their pieces, the Priming Game strategy is to absolutely stop any activity of the opposing player by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s pieces will either get bumped, or end up in a bad position if he/she at all attempts to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be established anyplace between point 2 and point 11 in your half of the board. As soon as you’ve successfully built the prime to block the movement of your opponent, your opponent does not even get to roll the dice, that means you shift your chips and toss the dice yet again. You’ll be a winner for sure.

The Back Game Strategy

The goals of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game tactic are similar – to harm your opponent’s positions hoping to better your odds of succeeding, however the Back Game plan relies on seperate techniques to do that. The Back Game tactic is frequently utilized when you are far behind your competitor. To play Backgammon with this plan, you have to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single piece) late in the game. This tactic is more difficult than others to play in Backgammon seeing as it requires careful movement of your pieces and how the checkers are moved is partly the outcome of the dice toss.
