As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of talent and luck. The goal is to shift your chips safely around the game board to your inside board while at the same time your opponent shifts their chips toward their inner board in the opposing direction. With opposing player chips moving in opposite directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for specific strategies at particular times. Here are the last two Backgammon techniques to complete your game.

The Priming Game Tactic

If the aim of the blocking strategy is to hamper the opponents ability to move her checkers, the Priming Game strategy is to completely block any activity of the opposing player by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s chips will either get hit, or result a bad position if he/she ever attempts to escape the wall. The trap of the prime can be built anyplace between point 2 and point 11 in your game board. Once you’ve successfully constructed the prime to block the movement of your competitor, your competitor does not even get to roll the dice, and you move your checkers and roll the dice yet again. You’ll win the game for sure.

The Back Game Plan

The objectives of the Back Game plan and the Blocking Game plan are very similar – to harm your opponent’s positions in hope to improve your chances of succeeding, however the Back Game technique relies on alternate techniques to do that. The Back Game plan is commonly utilized when you are far behind your opponent. To compete in Backgammon with this tactic, you need to hold 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single checker) late in the game. This strategy is more complex than others to play in Backgammon because it requires careful movement of your checkers and how the pieces are relocated is partly the outcome of the dice roll.
