As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of skill and pure luck. The aim is to move your chips carefully around the board to your inside board and at the same time your opposing player shifts their chips toward their inner board in the opposing direction. With competing player pieces heading in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for specific strategies at particular instances. Here are the two final Backgammon plans to complete your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the goal of the blocking tactic is to slow down the opponent to shift their pieces, the Priming Game strategy is to absolutely block any activity of the opposing player by building a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s pieces will either get bumped, or result a battered position if she at all attempts to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be established anyplace between point two and point 11 in your game board. Once you have successfully built the prime to stop the movement of your opponent, the opponent does not even get a chance to roll the dice, that means you move your chips and roll the dice yet again. You’ll win the game for sure.
The Back Game Technique
The objectives of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game strategy are similar – to hinder your opponent’s positions in hope to improve your odds of winning, however the Back Game strategy uses seperate tactics to achieve that. The Back Game tactic is frequently utilized when you are far behind your competitor. To participate in Backgammon with this strategy, you have to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single checker) late in the game. This plan is more difficult than others to employ in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your checkers and how the pieces are relocated is partially the result of the dice toss.
