As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of skill and good luck. The aim is to shift your pieces carefully around the board to your inside board and at the same time your opposition moves their checkers toward their inner board in the opposing direction. With competing player checkers heading in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the need for specific tactics at particular instances. Here are the two final Backgammon techniques to complete your game.

The Priming Game Tactic

If the aim of the blocking strategy is to hamper the opponents ability to move her chips, the Priming Game strategy is to absolutely block any movement of the opposing player by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s chips will either get hit, or result a battered position if she ever attempts to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be setup anyplace between point 2 and point eleven in your half of the board. As soon as you’ve successfully constructed the prime to stop the activity of your competitor, the competitor doesn’t even get a chance to roll the dice, that means you shift your pieces and toss the dice yet again. You will be a winner for sure.

The Back Game Strategy

The objectives of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game technique are similar – to hurt your opponent’s positions hoping to better your odds of succeeding, however the Back Game technique uses seperate tactics to achieve that. The Back Game tactic is frequently utilized when you are far behind your opponent. To participate in Backgammon with this technique, you have to control 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single checker) late in the game. This strategy is more challenging than others to play in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your chips and how the pieces are relocated is partially the result of the dice toss.
