As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of skill and good luck. The goal is to move your checkers carefully around the game board to your inner board and at the same time your opposition shifts their pieces toward their inner board in the opposite direction. With competing player chips shifting in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for specific tactics at specific times. Here are the 2 final Backgammon techniques to finish off your game.

The Priming Game Tactic

If the goal of the blocking tactic is to hamper the opponents ability to shift their pieces, the Priming Game plan is to completely stop any activity of the opponent by creating a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s checkers will either get bumped, or end up in a battered position if she at all tries to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be established anyplace between point 2 and point 11 in your half of the board. Once you’ve successfully assembled the prime to stop the movement of your opponent, your opponent does not even get to toss the dice, and you move your checkers and toss the dice yet again. You will be a winner for sure.

The Back Game Technique

The objectives of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game technique are very similar – to harm your opponent’s positions in hope to improve your chances of succeeding, however the Back Game tactic uses seperate tactics to do that. The Back Game technique is commonly employed when you are far behind your competitor. To play Backgammon with this tactic, you need to control 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This technique is more challenging than others to employ in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your pieces and how the checkers are relocated is partially the result of the dice roll.
