As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of talent and pure luck. The aim is to shift your chips safely around the board to your inner board and at the same time your opposition moves their checkers toward their home board in the opposite direction. With competing player chips moving in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for particular strategies at specific instances. Here are the two final Backgammon techniques to complete your game.

The Priming Game Plan

If the purpose of the blocking strategy is to slow down the opponent to shift her pieces, the Priming Game strategy is to absolutely stop any activity of the opponent by constructing a prime - ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor's chips will either get hit, or result a battered position if he ever tries to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be setup anywhere between point two and point eleven in your game board. Once you've successfully built the prime to stop the activity of the opponent, the opponent does not even get to roll the dice, and you move your chips and roll the dice yet again. You'll be a winner for sure.

The Back Game Plan

The aims of the Back Game plan and the Blocking Game plan are similar - to harm your opponent's positions with hope to boost your odds of succeeding, however the Back Game plan uses alternate tactics to achieve that. The Back Game strategy is generally employed when you are far behind your opponent. To play Backgammon with this technique, you have to control 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This plan is more challenging than others to employ in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your checkers and how the checkers are relocated is partly the result of the dice toss.
