As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of skill and luck. The goal is to move your checkers carefully around the game board to your home board and at the same time your opposing player shifts their chips toward their home board in the opposing direction. With opposing player checkers heading in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for particular strategies at specific instances. Here are the 2 final Backgammon techniques to round out your game.

The Priming Game Strategy

If the aim of the blocking strategy is to hamper the opponents ability to move her chips, the Priming Game tactic is to absolutely stop any movement of the opponent by constructing a prime - ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent's checkers will either get bumped, or result a damaged position if she ever tries 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. As soon as you've successfully assembled the prime to prevent the activity of the competitor, the competitor does not even get to toss the dice, and you move your pieces and roll the dice yet again. You'll win the game for sure.

The Back Game Technique

The goals of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game strategy are very similar - to harm your competitor's positions in hope to boost your chances of winning, however the Back Game technique relies on different techniques to achieve that. The Back Game strategy is often used when you are far behind your opponent. To play Backgammon with this tactic, 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 employ in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your chips and how the chips are moved is partially the result of the dice toss.
