As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of talent and luck. The aim is to move your pieces safely around the board to your inside board and at the same time your opponent shifts their pieces toward their inner board in the opposite direction. With competing player pieces heading in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for particular techniques at particular times. Here are the 2 final Backgammon techniques to round out your game.

The Priming Game Tactic

If the goal of the blocking strategy is to slow down the opponent to shift her pieces, the Priming Game strategy is to completely stop any movement of the opposing player by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s chips will either get bumped, or end up in a damaged position if she ever tries to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be setup anyplace between point two and point 11 in your game board. As soon as you’ve successfully assembled the prime to stop the activity of the opponent, the opponent does not even get a chance to toss the dice, and you shift your pieces and toss the dice again. You will be a winner for sure.

The Back Game Plan

The aims of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game strategy are similar – to hurt your opponent’s positions hoping to improve your odds of succeeding, however the Back Game plan uses seperate tactics to do that. The Back Game strategy is frequently used when you’re far behind your opponent. To compete in Backgammon with this tactic, you have to control 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This strategy is more complex than others to use in Backgammon because it requires careful movement of your pieces and how the checkers are relocated is partially the outcome of the dice toss.
