As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of talent and luck. The goal is to move your pieces safely around the board to your home board while at the same time your opposition moves their pieces toward their home board in the opposing direction. With opposing player pieces heading in opposite directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for specific techniques at specific times. Here are the 2 final Backgammon techniques to finish off your game.

The Priming Game Strategy

If the aim of the blocking tactic is to slow down the opponent to move her checkers, the Priming Game plan is to completely barricade any movement of the opposing player by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s checkers will either get hit, or end up in a damaged position if she at all attempts to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be built anyplace between point two and point eleven in your game board. After you’ve successfully built the prime to block the movement of the opponent, your opponent doesn’t even get a chance to toss the dice, that means you move your checkers and roll the dice yet again. You’ll be a winner for sure.

The Back Game Plan

The aims of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game plan are similar – to harm your opponent’s positions with hope to better your chances of winning, however the Back Game plan utilizes seperate tactics to achieve that. The Back Game plan is often employed when you’re far behind your competitor. To participate in Backgammon with this tactic, you have to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This strategy is more difficult than others to employ in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your pieces and how the chips are relocated is partly the outcome of the dice roll.
