As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of talent and good luck. The aim is to move your chips carefully around the game board to your home board and at the same time your opposition moves their checkers toward their home board in the opposing direction. With opposing player chips moving in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the need for specific strategies at particular times. Here are the last two Backgammon strategies to complete your game.

The Priming Game Tactic

If the aim of the blocking strategy is to slow down the opponent to shift his chips, the Priming Game plan is to completely block any activity of the opposing player by constructing a prime - ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor's chips will either get bumped, or end up in a damaged position if he/she at all tries to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be established anyplace between point 2 and point eleven in your half of the board. Once you have successfully built the prime to stop the activity of the competitor, your competitor doesn't even get to toss the dice, and you shift your pieces and roll the dice again. You will win the game for sure.

The Back Game Plan

The goals of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game plan are very similar - to harm your competitor's positions in hope to improve your odds of succeeding, however the Back Game strategy utilizes seperate tactics to do that. The Back Game plan is commonly employed when you are far behind your competitor. To participate in Backgammon with this strategy, you need to hold 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This tactic is more complex than others to play in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your chips and how the pieces are relocated is partially the result of the dice roll.
