As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of talent and pure luck. The goal is to shift your pieces carefully around the game board to your home board while at the same time your opposing player shifts their checkers toward their home board in the opposite direction. With competing player chips shifting in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for particular strategies at specific times. Here are the last two Backgammon plans to finish off your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the aim of the blocking tactic is to hamper the opponents ability to move their pieces, the Priming Game plan is to absolutely stop any movement of the opponent by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s pieces will either get bumped, or end up in a battered position if he at all attempts to escape the wall. The trap of the prime can be setup anywhere between point two and point 11 in your board. Once you have successfully built the prime to prevent the movement of your opponent, the opponent doesn’t even get to roll the dice, that means you shift your chips and toss the dice again. You will be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Plan
The aims of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game technique are very similar – to hinder your opponent’s positions with hope to improve your odds of winning, but the Back Game strategy relies on different tactics to do that. The Back Game tactic is commonly utilized when you’re far behind your opponent. To compete in Backgammon with this plan, you have to hold 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This strategy is more difficult than others to employ in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your pieces and how the checkers are relocated is partially the outcome of the dice roll.
