The Essential Details of Backgammon Game Plans – Part 2
As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of ability and pure luck. The goal is to shift your checkers carefully around the game board to your home board and at the same time your opponent shifts their chips toward their home board in the opposing direction. With opposing player pieces shifting in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the need for specific tactics at particular times. Here are the last two Backgammon plans to round out your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the goal of the blocking plan is to hamper the opponents ability to shift her pieces, the Priming Game plan is to completely block any activity of the opposing player by building a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s pieces will either get bumped, or result a damaged position if she ever tries to escape the wall. The trap of the prime can be setup anyplace between point two and point eleven in your half of the board. After you have successfully assembled the prime to stop the movement of your opponent, the opponent does not even get a chance to roll the dice, that means you move your chips and toss the dice yet again. You will win the game for sure.
The Back Game Plan
The objectives of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game tactic are similar – to harm your competitor’s positions hoping to improve your odds of winning, however the Back Game tactic uses different tactics to do that. The Back Game tactic is often used when you’re far behind your competitor. To play Backgammon with this tactic, 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 use in Backgammon because it requires careful movement of your checkers and how the pieces are moved is partially the result of the dice toss.
