As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of skill and pure luck. The aim is to shift your pieces carefully around the game board to your inner board while at the same time your opposition shifts their pieces toward their inside board in the opposite direction. With competing player checkers shifting in opposite directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for specific techniques at particular instances. Here are the last 2 Backgammon plans to complete your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the goal of the blocking tactic is to hamper the opponents ability to shift her pieces, the Priming Game strategy is to absolutely barricade any activity of the opposing player by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s pieces will either get bumped, or end up in a bad position if he at all tries to escape the wall. The trap of the prime can be built anywhere between point two and point eleven in your game board. After you’ve successfully assembled the prime to prevent the activity of your opponent, the competitor does not even get to toss the dice, and you move your chips and toss the dice again. You will be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Technique
The goals of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game strategy are similar – to hinder your opponent’s positions with hope to boost your odds of succeeding, but the Back Game tactic uses different techniques to do that. The Back Game technique is frequently utilized when you’re far behind your competitor. To play Backgammon with this plan, you need to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This tactic is more difficult than others to play in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your pieces and how the pieces are moved is partially the result of the dice toss.
