As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of skill and luck. The aim is to shift your pieces carefully around the game board to your home board while at the same time your opponent shifts their checkers toward their home board in the opposite direction. With competing player chips shifting in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for particular strategies at specific times. Here are the 2 final Backgammon techniques to finish off your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the purpose of the blocking strategy is to slow down the opponent to move his checkers, the Priming Game plan is to completely block any activity of the opposing player by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s pieces will either get hit, or end up in a damaged position if he ever tries to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be setup anyplace between point 2 and point eleven in your board. As soon as you have successfully constructed the prime to stop the movement of the competitor, the competitor does not even get a chance to toss the dice, and you move your checkers and roll the dice yet again. You’ll win the game for sure.
The Back Game Plan
The objectives of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game technique are very similar – to harm your competitor’s positions hoping to improve your odds of succeeding, however the Back Game technique utilizes alternate tactics to do that. The Back Game tactic is frequently utilized when you’re far behind your competitor. To play Backgammon with this technique, you need to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This strategy is more complex than others to use in Backgammon because it requires careful movement of your pieces and how the chips are moved is partially the outcome of the dice toss.
