As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of ability and good luck. The aim is to move your checkers carefully around the board to your home board while at the same time your opposing player shifts their checkers toward their home board in the opposing direction. With competing player pieces shifting in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for particular tactics at particular instances. Here are the 2 final Backgammon strategies to complete your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the purpose of the blocking tactic is to hamper the opponents ability to move her pieces, the Priming Game plan is to completely block any movement of the opponent by creating a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s chips will either get bumped, or result a battered position if he at all attempts to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be established anyplace between point two and point eleven in your game board. As soon as you have successfully constructed the prime to prevent the movement of the opponent, your opponent does not even get to roll the dice, that means you move your pieces and roll the dice yet again. You’ll win the game for sure.
The Back Game Tactic
The aims of the Back Game plan and the Blocking Game tactic are similar – to harm your competitor’s positions with hope to better your odds of winning, but the Back Game tactic uses seperate tactics to achieve that. The Back Game technique is often utilized when you’re far behind your opponent. To compete in Backgammon with this technique, you have to hold 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single piece) late in the game. This technique is more challenging than others to employ in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your checkers and how the checkers are relocated is partly the result of the dice toss.
