As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of ability and good luck. The goal is to move your chips carefully around the game board to your inside board and at the same time your opposition shifts their checkers toward their inner board in the opposing direction. With opposing player pieces moving in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for particular tactics at particular instances. Here are the two final Backgammon plans to finish off your game.

The Priming Game Strategy

If the purpose of the blocking strategy is to hamper the opponents ability to shift their chips, the Priming Game plan is to completely barricade any movement of the opposing player by constructing a prime - ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent's checkers will either get hit, or end up in a bad position if he/she at all attempts to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be setup anyplace between point two and point 11 in your game board. As soon as you've successfully built the prime to stop the activity of the competitor, your competitor doesn't even get a chance to toss the dice, and you move your chips and roll the dice yet 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 harm your competitor's positions in hope to improve your odds of succeeding, however the Back Game tactic relies on different techniques to achieve that. The Back Game plan is frequently utilized when you are far behind your competitor. To play Backgammon with this plan, you need to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single piece) late in the game. This tactic is more challenging than others to employ in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your chips and how the chips are moved is partially the outcome of the dice roll.
