As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of skill and luck. The aim is to shift your pieces carefully around the game board to your inner board while at the same time your opponent moves their chips toward their home board in the opposing direction. With opposing player checkers shifting in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the need for particular tactics at specific times. Here are the 2 final Backgammon tactics to round out your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the purpose of the blocking plan is to hamper the opponents ability to move their checkers, the Priming Game tactic is to completely barricade any activity of the opponent by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s pieces will either get bumped, or result a bad position if she at all tries to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be built anywhere between point two and point 11 in your game board. As soon as you have successfully built the prime to prevent the movement of your competitor, your opponent doesn’t even get a chance to roll the dice, and you shift your pieces and roll the dice yet again. You’ll win the game for sure.
The Back Game Tactic
The goals of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game plan are very similar – to hurt your competitor’s positions hoping to boost your odds of winning, however the Back Game technique relies on seperate techniques to do that. The Back Game strategy is frequently used when you are far behind your competitor. To play Backgammon with this strategy, you have to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This technique is more challenging than others to use in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your pieces and how the checkers are relocated is partly the outcome of the dice roll.
