As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of skill and luck. The goal is to shift your pieces safely around the game board to your inside board while at the same time your opposing player moves their chips toward their inner board in the opposite direction. With opposing player checkers moving in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for particular strategies at specific times. Here are the 2 final Backgammon plans to finish off your game.

The Priming Game Tactic

If the purpose of the blocking plan is to hamper the opponents ability to move their pieces, the Priming Game strategy is to completely block any activity of the opponent by building a prime - ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor's pieces will either get hit, or result a damaged position if she ever attempts to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be setup anywhere between point 2 and point eleven in your half of the board. After you have successfully constructed the prime to block the activity of your opponent, your opponent does not even get to roll the dice, and you shift your chips and toss the dice yet again. You will win the game for sure.

The Back Game Strategy

The aims of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game strategy are very similar - to hurt your competitor's positions hoping to improve your chances of winning, however the Back Game strategy utilizes alternate tactics to do that. The Back Game strategy is frequently used when you're far behind your opponent. To play Backgammon with this technique, you need to hold 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single checker) late in the game. This plan is more complex than others to employ in Backgammon seeing as it requires careful movement of your checkers and how the pieces are relocated is partly the result of the dice toss.
