The Essential Facts of Backgammon Tactics – Part Two

As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of skill and luck. The aim is to move your chips safely around the board to your inner board and at the same time your opposition shifts their pieces toward their inside board in the opposite direction. With competing player checkers shifting in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the need for specific techniques at particular times. Here are the last 2 Backgammon plans to finish off your game.

The Priming Game Tactic

If the goal of the blocking strategy is to hamper the opponents ability to shift their checkers, the Priming Game strategy is to absolutely stop any movement of the opponent by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s checkers will either get bumped, or result a battered position if he/she at all attempts to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be built anywhere between point 2 and point eleven in your board. After you have successfully built the prime to prevent the activity of your opponent, the opponent does not even get to roll the dice, that means you shift your chips and roll the dice again. You will win the game for sure.

The Back Game Technique

The objectives of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game tactic are very similar – to hurt your opponent’s positions with hope to better your odds of winning, however the Back Game plan relies on seperate tactics to do that. The Back Game tactic is commonly utilized when you’re far behind your competitor. To compete in Backgammon with this technique, you have to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This technique is more challenging than others to use in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your chips and how the chips are relocated is partially the outcome of the dice toss.
