As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of ability and good luck. The goal is to shift your pieces carefully around the board to your inside board and at the same time your opposing player shifts their pieces toward their home board in the opposite direction. With opposing player pieces shifting in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for particular techniques at particular times. Here are the last 2 Backgammon plans to finish off your game.

The Priming Game Tactic

If the purpose of the blocking plan is to hamper the opponents ability to shift their chips, the Priming Game strategy is to absolutely barricade any activity of the opponent by creating a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s checkers will either get hit, or end up in a bad position if he/she at all tries to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be established anyplace between point 2 and point 11 in your half of the board. After you’ve successfully constructed the prime to prevent the movement of the competitor, the competitor does not even get a chance to toss the dice, and you shift your pieces and roll the dice again. You will be a winner for sure.

The Back Game Strategy

The goals of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game technique are very similar – to harm your opponent’s positions with hope to better your chances of winning, however the Back Game plan relies on alternate tactics to achieve that. The Back Game tactic is frequently utilized when you’re far behind your competitor. To participate in Backgammon with this strategy, you need to hold 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This plan is more challenging than others to employ in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your pieces and how the chips are moved is partially the outcome of the dice roll.
