As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of skill and pure luck. The aim is to move your pieces safely around the game board to your home board and at the same time your opposing player shifts their checkers toward their inside board in the opposing direction. With opposing player pieces heading in opposite directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for specific tactics at particular times. Here are the last 2 Backgammon plans to finish off your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the purpose of the blocking tactic is to slow down the opponent to shift her checkers, the Priming Game strategy is to absolutely barricade any movement of the opposing player by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s pieces will either get hit, or result a bad position if he/she at all attempts to escape the wall. The trap of the prime can be established anywhere between point 2 and point 11 in your game board. Once you’ve successfully assembled the prime to prevent the movement of your opponent, your competitor doesn’t even get to roll the dice, that means you move your checkers and roll the dice yet again. You’ll be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Technique
The aims of the Back Game plan and the Blocking Game plan are similar – to harm your competitor’s positions with hope to better your chances of winning, however the Back Game technique relies on seperate techniques to do that. The Back Game strategy is commonly utilized when you are far behind your opponent. To compete in Backgammon with this tactic, you need to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This technique is more difficult than others to employ in Backgammon seeing as it requires careful movement of your checkers and how the chips are relocated is partially the result of the dice roll.
