As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of talent and good luck. The goal is to shift your checkers safely around the game board to your inside board and at the same time your opposing player moves their pieces toward their home board in the opposite direction. With opposing player chips shifting in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for specific tactics at particular times. Here are the 2 final Backgammon techniques to finish off your game.

The Priming Game Plan

If the aim of the blocking plan is to slow down the opponent to move her checkers, the Priming Game plan is to completely stop any activity of the opponent by building a prime - ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor's chips will either get bumped, or end up in a battered position if she at all tries to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be built anyplace between point two and point 11 in your board. As soon as you've successfully constructed the prime to stop the movement of the competitor, your opponent doesn't even get to toss the dice, and you shift your chips and toss the dice again. You'll be a winner for sure.

The Back Game Plan

The objectives of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game strategy are very similar - to harm your competitor's positions with hope to better your odds of winning, however the Back Game technique utilizes seperate tactics to achieve that. The Back Game tactic is commonly used when you're far behind your competitor. To play Backgammon with this plan, you need to hold 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single checker) late in the game. This tactic is more challenging than others to employ in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your chips and how the chips are moved is partly the result of the dice roll.
