As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of skill and luck. The aim is to move your checkers carefully around the board to your inner board while at the same time your opposing player shifts their checkers toward their inner board in the opposing direction. With opposing player checkers shifting in opposite directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for specific techniques at particular instances. Here are the 2 final Backgammon techniques to round out your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the aim of the blocking tactic is to hamper the opponents ability to shift their checkers, the Priming Game strategy is to completely block any movement of the opponent by building a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s pieces will either get bumped, or result a battered position if he/she at all attempts to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be built anyplace between point two and point eleven in your board. As soon as you have successfully built the prime to stop the movement of your competitor, the opponent doesn’t even get to toss the dice, and you move your pieces and toss the dice again. You’ll be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Technique
The aims of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game plan are very similar – to hurt your competitor’s positions hoping to better your odds of succeeding, but the Back Game strategy relies on alternate techniques to do that. The Back Game tactic is generally utilized when you’re far behind your competitor. To play Backgammon with this plan, you need to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single checker) late in the game. This plan is more complex than others to play in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your checkers and how the checkers are relocated is partly the result of the dice roll.
