As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of skill and good luck. The goal is to shift your chips carefully around the game board to your inside board and at the same time your opponent moves their chips toward their inside board in the opposing direction. With opposing player pieces shifting in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for specific tactics at particular times. Here are the last two Backgammon strategies to complete your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the purpose of the blocking strategy is to slow down the opponent to shift his pieces, the Priming Game tactic is to absolutely barricade 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 result a bad position if she at all tries to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be setup anywhere between point two and point eleven in your board. As soon as you’ve successfully built the prime to prevent the movement of your opponent, the opponent does not even get to toss the dice, that means you move your chips and roll the dice again. You’ll be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Strategy
The objectives of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game plan are very similar – to harm your opponent’s positions in hope to improve your odds of winning, however the Back Game plan utilizes different tactics to achieve that. The Back Game technique is frequently utilized when you are far behind your opponent. To compete in Backgammon with this tactic, you have to hold 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single checker) late in the game. This tactic is more complex than others to use in Backgammon because it requires careful movement of your chips and how the pieces are relocated is partially the result of the dice toss.
