As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of talent and luck. The aim is to shift your checkers carefully around the board to your inside board while at the same time your opposition shifts their pieces toward their home board in the opposing direction. With opposing player checkers heading in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for particular tactics at particular instances. Here are the 2 final Backgammon strategies to finish off your game.

The Priming Game Plan

If the aim of the blocking plan is to slow down the opponent to shift her checkers, the Priming Game tactic is to completely stop any movement of the opposing player by creating a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s chips will either get hit, or end up in a bad position if he/she at all attempts to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be established anywhere between point two and point 11 in your half of the board. After you have successfully built the prime to prevent the movement of your competitor, your opponent doesn’t even get a chance to toss the dice, that means you shift your chips and roll the dice again. You will be a winner for sure.

The Back Game Plan

The objectives of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game technique are very similar – to hurt your competitor’s positions in hope to boost your odds of succeeding, however the Back Game strategy utilizes seperate tactics to do that. The Back Game plan is often used when you are far behind your competitor. To participate in Backgammon with this technique, you need to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This plan is more challenging than others to employ in Backgammon because it requires careful movement of your chips and how the checkers are moved is partly the result of the dice toss.
