As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of skill and luck. The goal is to move your checkers carefully around the board to your inside board while at the same time your opposition moves their pieces toward their inner board in the opposite direction. With opposing player pieces heading in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for particular techniques at specific times. Here are the two final Backgammon techniques to complete your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the purpose of the blocking tactic is to hamper the opponents ability to shift his checkers, the Priming Game strategy is to completely barricade any movement of the opposing player by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s pieces will either get bumped, or result a battered position if she ever attempts to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be established anywhere between point 2 and point eleven in your game board. Once you’ve successfully built the prime to stop the activity of your competitor, the competitor doesn’t even get to roll the dice, that means you move your pieces and roll the dice yet again. You will win the game for sure.
The Back Game Plan
The goals of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game plan are very similar – to harm your competitor’s positions in hope to boost your odds of winning, but the Back Game technique relies on seperate tactics to do that. The Back Game tactic is generally used when you’re far behind your competitor. To play Backgammon with this technique, you need to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This strategy is more difficult than others to use in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your pieces and how the pieces are relocated is partially the outcome of the dice toss.
