As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of ability and pure luck. The goal is to move your pieces carefully around the board to your home board and at the same time your opposition shifts their pieces toward their inner board in the opposite direction. With opposing player checkers shifting in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the need for particular techniques at particular times. Here are the 2 final Backgammon tactics to complete your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the aim of the blocking plan is to slow down the opponent to shift their checkers, the Priming Game tactic is to absolutely barricade any movement of the opponent by building a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s pieces will either get bumped, or result a battered position if he ever attempts to escape the wall. The trap of the prime can be built anywhere between point two and point eleven in your half of the board. After you have successfully built the prime to prevent the activity of your competitor, your competitor doesn’t even get to toss the dice, and you shift your checkers and roll the dice yet again. You’ll win the game for sure.
The Back Game Technique
The aims of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game plan are similar – to harm your opponent’s positions hoping to better your odds of winning, however the Back Game tactic relies on seperate tactics to do that. The Back Game strategy is often employed when you are far behind your competitor. To compete in Backgammon with this strategy, you need to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single checker) late in the game. This technique is more complex than others to play in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your pieces and how the checkers are relocated is partially the outcome of the dice toss.
