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

The Priming Game Strategy

If the goal of the blocking plan is to hamper the opponents ability to shift their checkers, the Priming Game strategy is to completely stop any movement of the opponent by building a prime - ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent's chips will either get bumped, or end up in a bad position if he at all attempts to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be setup anyplace between point 2 and point eleven in your game board. After you have successfully constructed the prime to block the activity of the opponent, your opponent does not even get to roll the dice, that means you move your chips and toss the dice yet again. You'll be a winner for sure.

The Back Game Strategy

The objectives of the Back Game plan and the Blocking Game tactic are similar - to hurt your opponent's positions hoping to boost your chances of succeeding, however the Back Game plan relies on seperate tactics to achieve that. The Back Game tactic is often used when you're far behind your opponent. To play Backgammon with this strategy, you have to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single checker) late in the game. This strategy is more challenging than others to play in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your checkers and how the checkers are moved is partly the outcome of the dice roll.
