As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of ability and luck. The aim is to move your pieces carefully around the board to your inner board and at the same time your opposing player shifts their chips toward their inside board in the opposing direction. With competing player chips moving in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for particular techniques at specific times. Here are the two final Backgammon strategies to complete your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the goal of the blocking plan is to slow down the opponent to move their checkers, the Priming Game tactic is to completely block any movement of the opposing player by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s chips will either get hit, or result a bad position if she at all attempts to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be built anyplace between point 2 and point eleven in your board. Once you’ve successfully constructed the prime to block the movement of the opponent, your opponent doesn’t even get a chance to toss the dice, and you shift your chips and roll the dice again. You’ll win the game for sure.
The Back Game Plan
The objectives of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game plan are very similar – to hinder your competitor’s positions with hope to improve your chances of winning, however the Back Game plan relies on seperate tactics to do that. The Back Game technique is often utilized when you’re far behind your competitor. To compete in Backgammon with this plan, you need to hold 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This tactic is more challenging than others to use in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your checkers and how the chips are moved is partially the outcome of the dice toss.
