The Essential Details of Backgammon Game Plans – Part 2
Monday, 26. May 2025
As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of talent and good luck. The aim is to shift your pieces safely around the board to your inside board while at the same time your opposition shifts their chips toward their home board in the opposing direction. With opposing player chips heading in opposite directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for particular techniques at specific times. Here are the last 2 Backgammon strategies to round out your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the goal of the blocking tactic is to hamper the opponents ability to move her chips, the Priming Game tactic is to completely barricade any movement of the opposing player by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s pieces will either get hit, or end up in a battered position if he ever tries to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be established anyplace between point two and point 11 in your game board. Once you’ve successfully built the prime to stop the movement of your opponent, your opponent does not even get to toss the dice, that means you shift your pieces and toss the dice yet again. You’ll win the game for sure.
The Back Game Plan
The aims of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game strategy are similar – to hurt your opponent’s positions in hope to improve your odds of succeeding, but the Back Game plan uses seperate tactics to achieve that. The Back Game strategy is generally utilized when you’re far behind your opponent. To compete in Backgammon with this strategy, you have to hold 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This plan is more complex than others to employ in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your pieces and how the pieces are relocated is partially the outcome of the dice roll.
