As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of skill and good luck. The goal is to shift your pieces safely around the board to your home board and at the same time your opposing player moves their pieces toward their home board in the opposing direction. With competing player pieces heading in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for particular tactics at specific times. Here are the last two Backgammon plans to complete your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the aim of the blocking strategy is to slow down the opponent to move his chips, 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 checkers will either get hit, or result a bad position if she ever tries to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be built anywhere between point two and point 11 in your game board. Once you have successfully constructed the prime to block the activity of the competitor, your competitor does not even get to toss the dice, that means you move your pieces and roll the dice yet again. You’ll win the game for sure.
The Back Game Technique
The goals of the Back Game plan and the Blocking Game tactic are very similar – to harm your opponent’s positions in hope to better your chances of winning, but the Back Game plan uses seperate techniques to do that. The Back Game technique is often employed when you’re far behind your opponent. To play Backgammon with this tactic, you need to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This strategy is more challenging than others to play in Backgammon because it requires careful movement of your pieces and how the pieces are moved is partially the outcome of the dice roll.
