As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of talent and luck. The goal is to move your pieces safely around the board to your inner board and at the same time your opposition moves their checkers toward their inside board in the opposing direction. With opposing player chips heading in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for particular techniques at specific times. Here are the last two Backgammon techniques to complete your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the goal of the blocking plan is to hamper the opponents ability to shift his checkers, the Priming Game plan is to absolutely stop any activity of the opposing player by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s pieces will either get bumped, or result a damaged position if he/she at all tries to escape the wall. The trap of the prime can be established anyplace between point two and point eleven in your half of the board. Once you’ve successfully assembled the prime to prevent the movement of your opponent, your opponent doesn’t even get to roll the dice, that means you move your chips and roll the dice again. You will win the game for sure.
The Back Game Plan
The goals of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game plan are very similar – to harm your competitor’s positions in hope to boost your odds of winning, but the Back Game plan uses alternate tactics to do that. The Back Game strategy is generally employed when you’re far behind your competitor. To compete in Backgammon with this tactic, you need to hold 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single checker) late in the game. This strategy is more complex than others to use in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your pieces and how the pieces are relocated is partly the outcome of the dice toss.
