As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of talent and pure luck. The goal is to shift your pieces carefully around the game board to your inner board while at the same time your opposing player shifts their pieces toward their inside board in the opposite direction. With opposing player checkers heading in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for particular tactics at particular instances. Here are the two final Backgammon strategies to complete your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the purpose of the blocking tactic is to hamper the opponents ability to shift his checkers, the Priming Game tactic is to absolutely stop any activity of the opposing player by building a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s checkers will either get hit, or result a battered position if he ever tries to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be setup anyplace between point 2 and point 11 in your game board. As soon as you’ve successfully constructed the prime to block the movement of the opponent, the competitor doesn’t even get a chance to toss the dice, that means you shift your pieces and roll the dice yet again. You’ll be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Strategy
The aims of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game tactic are similar – to harm your competitor’s positions with hope to better your chances of winning, however the Back Game plan relies on different tactics to do that. The Back Game plan is often used when you’re far behind your competitor. To participate in Backgammon with this tactic, you need to hold 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This plan is more complex than others to play in Backgammon because it requires careful movement of your pieces and how the chips are moved is partly the result of the dice toss.
