As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of ability and pure luck. The aim is to move your pieces safely around the game board to your inside board and at the same time your opponent shifts their checkers toward their home board in the opposite direction. With competing player chips moving in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for particular tactics at particular times. Here are the 2 final Backgammon tactics to complete your game.

The Priming Game Tactic

If the purpose of the blocking plan is to slow down the opponent to move his chips, the Priming Game strategy is to completely block any activity of the opposing player by assembling a prime - ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor's chips will either get bumped, or result a bad position if she at all attempts to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be built anyplace between point two and point 11 in your game board. After you've successfully constructed the prime to prevent the movement of your opponent, the opponent doesn't even get to roll the dice, that means you shift your chips and toss the dice yet again. You will win the game for sure.

The Back Game Strategy

The objectives of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game plan are similar - to harm your opponent's positions with hope to improve your chances of succeeding, however the Back Game strategy uses alternate tactics to do that. The Back Game technique is frequently utilized when you are far behind your opponent. To compete in Backgammon with this strategy, you need to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single checker) late in the game. This plan is more difficult than others to employ in Backgammon seeing as it requires careful movement of your pieces and how the pieces are relocated is partly the outcome of the dice roll.
