As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of ability and good luck. The goal is to shift your pieces carefully around the game board to your inner board and at the same time your opponent shifts their pieces toward their inner board in the opposing direction. With opposing player pieces shifting in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the need for specific tactics at specific times. Here are the last two Backgammon techniques to round out your game.

The Priming Game Tactic

If the purpose of the blocking strategy is to hamper the opponents ability to shift his pieces, the Priming Game tactic is to absolutely block any movement of the opponent by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s chips will either get bumped, or result a bad position if he at all attempts to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be established anywhere between point two and point 11 in your board. After you have successfully assembled the prime to block the movement of the opponent, the competitor does not even get a chance to roll the dice, that means you move your chips and toss the dice again. You will be a winner for sure.

The Back Game Technique

The aims of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game tactic are similar – to harm your opponent’s positions in hope to boost your chances of winning, but the Back Game plan uses seperate tactics to achieve that. The Back Game plan is frequently utilized when you’re far behind your competitor. To participate in Backgammon with this strategy, you have to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This tactic is more complex than others to use in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your pieces and how the checkers are relocated is partly the outcome of the dice roll.
