As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of ability and pure luck. The aim is to shift your pieces 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 opposing player checkers shifting in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the need for specific strategies at particular instances. Here are the last two Backgammon plans to complete your game.

The Priming Game Plan

If the goal of the blocking strategy is to slow down the opponent to shift her pieces, the Priming Game strategy is to completely block any movement of the opposing player by creating a prime - ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor's pieces will either get hit, or result a battered position if she at all tries to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be built anywhere between point 2 and point eleven in your half of the board. As soon as you've successfully built the prime to block the movement of the opponent, the opponent doesn't even get a chance to toss the dice, and you move your chips and toss the dice again. You will win the game for sure.

The Back Game Technique

The aims of the Back Game plan and the Blocking Game tactic are very similar - to hurt your opponent's positions in hope to better your odds of winning, but the Back Game technique utilizes seperate techniques to achieve that. The Back Game technique is frequently used when you are far behind your competitor. To compete in Backgammon with this tactic, you need to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single piece) late in the game. This technique is more challenging than others to use in Backgammon because it requires careful movement of your pieces and how the chips are moved is partly the outcome of the dice toss.
