As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of skill and good luck. The aim is to move your pieces safely around the game board to your inner board and at the same time your opposing player moves their pieces toward their inner board in the opposing direction. With competing player chips moving in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for particular strategies at specific times. Here are the last 2 Backgammon techniques to complete your game.

The Priming Game Strategy

If the purpose of the blocking strategy is to slow down the opponent to shift their checkers, the Priming Game tactic is to completely stop any movement of the opponent by creating a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s checkers will either get bumped, or result a damaged position if he/she at all tries to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be established anyplace between point 2 and point 11 in your game board. Once you’ve successfully constructed the prime to prevent the movement of the opponent, the opponent doesn’t 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 Technique

The aims of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game tactic are similar – to hinder your opponent’s positions hoping to improve your chances of winning, however the Back Game technique relies on different techniques to do that. The Back Game plan is frequently employed when you are far behind your competitor. To play Backgammon with this strategy, you need to hold 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This technique is more complex than others to use in Backgammon because it requires careful movement of your pieces and how the checkers are moved is partially the result of the dice toss.
