The Basics of Backgammon Game Plans – Part Two
As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of skill and luck. The goal is to move your chips safely around the game board to your home board and at the same time your opposing player moves their checkers toward their inside board in the opposite direction. With competing player pieces heading in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the need for specific strategies at specific times. Here are the two final Backgammon tactics to complete your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the aim of the blocking strategy is to hamper the opponents ability to shift her checkers, the Priming Game tactic is to completely barricade any movement of the opposing player by building a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s checkers will either get bumped, or end up in a bad position if she at all attempts to escape the wall. The trap of the prime can be setup anyplace between point two and point eleven in your game board. After you have successfully assembled the prime to prevent the movement of the competitor, the competitor does not even get a chance to toss the dice, and you shift your pieces and roll the dice yet again. You’ll be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Strategy
The objectives of the Back Game plan and the Blocking Game plan are very similar – to hinder your competitor’s positions in hope to better your chances of winning, however the Back Game technique utilizes alternate techniques to achieve that. The Back Game technique is often employed when you’re far behind your competitor. To play Backgammon with this tactic, you have to control 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This plan is more challenging than others to use in Backgammon seeing as it requires careful movement of your chips and how the pieces are relocated is partially the result of the dice toss.
