As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of skill and luck. The aim is to shift your chips carefully around the game board to your home board and at the same time your opponent moves their chips toward their inside board in the opposite direction. With opposing player chips moving in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for particular tactics at specific instances. Here are the two final Backgammon techniques to complete your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the purpose of the blocking plan is to hamper the opponents ability to shift their checkers, the Priming Game tactic is to completely barricade any activity of the opponent by building a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s chips will either get bumped, or result a battered position if he at all attempts to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be established anyplace between point 2 and point 11 in your game board. After you’ve successfully built the prime to block the movement of your competitor, the opponent doesn’t even get a chance to roll the dice, that means you shift your chips and roll the dice yet again. You’ll be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Technique
The objectives of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game tactic are similar – to harm your competitor’s positions hoping to improve your chances of succeeding, however the Back Game tactic uses seperate techniques to do that. The Back Game tactic is often used when you’re far behind your competitor. To play Backgammon with this strategy, you have to hold 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single piece) late in the game. This tactic is more difficult than others to use in Backgammon because it requires careful movement of your chips and how the pieces are relocated is partially the outcome of the dice roll.
