As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of skill and luck. The aim is to move your checkers carefully around the game board to your inside board while at the same time your opposing player shifts their checkers toward their inner board in the opposite direction. With opposing player checkers shifting in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for specific techniques at particular times. Here are the last 2 Backgammon strategies to complete your game.

The Priming Game Plan

If the goal of the blocking plan is to slow down the opponent to shift her pieces, the Priming Game strategy is to completely barricade any activity of the opponent by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s pieces will either get hit, or end up in a bad position if she at all attempts to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be established anywhere between point 2 and point 11 in your half of the board. As soon as you have successfully constructed the prime to block the movement of your opponent, the competitor doesn’t 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 Strategy

The objectives of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game strategy are very similar – to harm your opponent’s positions hoping to boost your odds of winning, but the Back Game plan uses seperate techniques to do that. The Back Game tactic is commonly utilized when you are far behind your competitor. To participate in Backgammon with this plan, you need to hold 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This tactic is more complex than others to employ in Backgammon seeing as it requires careful movement of your chips and how the chips are relocated is partially the outcome of the dice toss.
