As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of talent and good luck. The goal is to move your chips safely around the board to your inner board and at the same time your opposition shifts their checkers toward their inside board in the opposing direction. With competing player pieces moving in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the need for particular tactics at particular instances. Here are the last 2 Backgammon plans to complete your game.

The Priming Game Strategy

If the goal of the blocking plan is to hamper the opponents ability to move his pieces, the Priming Game tactic is to absolutely block any movement of the opposing player by creating a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s chips will either get bumped, or end up in a battered position if he at all tries to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be built anyplace between point two and point 11 in your game board. Once you’ve successfully built the prime to block the activity of the competitor, your opponent doesn’t even get a chance to toss the dice, and you move your pieces and toss the dice yet again. You will be a winner for sure.

The Back Game Strategy

The aims of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game strategy are very similar – to hinder your opponent’s positions hoping to improve your odds of succeeding, however the Back Game technique uses seperate techniques to do that. The Back Game plan is frequently employed when you are far behind your competitor. To compete in Backgammon with this plan, you have to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This technique is more challenging than others to play in Backgammon seeing as it requires careful movement of your pieces and how the chips are moved is partially the outcome of the dice roll.
