As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of talent and luck. The aim is to move your checkers safely around the board to your inner board and at the same time your opponent moves their checkers toward their inside board in the opposing direction. With competing player chips heading in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for specific tactics at particular instances. Here are the two final Backgammon strategies to finish off your game.

The Priming Game Plan

If the aim of the blocking tactic is to hamper the opponents ability to shift his pieces, the Priming Game strategy is to completely stop any activity of the opponent by building a prime - ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent's chips will either get hit, or result a battered position if he at all attempts to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be established anywhere between point 2 and point eleven in your game board. As soon as you have successfully built the prime to stop the activity of your opponent, your competitor does not even get a chance to roll the dice, and you shift your checkers and toss the dice yet again. You will win the game for sure.

The Back Game Plan

The goals of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game tactic are very similar - to hurt your competitor's positions with hope to better your chances of succeeding, however the Back Game technique relies on seperate tactics to do that. The Back Game technique is frequently employed when you are far behind your opponent. To participate in Backgammon with this plan, you need to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single checker) late in the game. This plan is more difficult than others to use in Backgammon because it requires careful movement of your chips and how the chips are relocated is partly the outcome of the dice toss.
