21-inch Backgammon Set - Brown Board and Playing Surface - White and Light Brown Points

My son was in need of home schooling. My job, as his teacher, was to find fun creative ways outside of the normal curriculum to keep the teachable moments at their peak. Backgammon provides the opportunity to enjoy a good game of both chance and skill while continually reintroducing number challenges in a fun environment. This board is bigger than most and, because of its larger surface area, adds to the enjoyment of rolling the dice and scooting the chips over a longer but manageable distance. The quality I was looking for in both the board and its pieces was still there because the board was properly felted with a fine nap, which gave it a professional look and feel. The fine felt also lended the ability to quiet down the dice roll when things got a bit heated near the end of a match. The markers on the board are professionally sewn in right along their edges, so you do not get that dog-eared peel up that could be annoying when you are expecting the chip or chips to glide over the markers but instead getting knocked out of your fingertips due to the sudden jerk of an unwanted bump. The chips and the dice are of good quality. Both my son and I love the satiny feel of the chips that are just ever so slightly beveled on both sides around the perimeter to help the glide and to prevent any possibility of the aforementioned jerk. As far as durability goes, I gave it a four only because you never can be too sure about the hinges, but at this time there are no signs of hinge issues. If you have the desire to get a good backgammon set, and as long as you have a good size playing area to play in, get this set. It will hold up to your expectations.

Impeccably detailed, with luxurious leather, even though it might be faux. Love playing on this backgammon board.

Fairly good set. Playing surface is good quality. I do not like the dimensions of the storage space for the chips. They fit loosely and appear to be poorly designed for the purpose of storing the chips, as they are not snug in place when stacked. Other than that, the set is nice looking and good quality for the price point.

I ordered this specific set after spending some time reading reviews from mulitple backgammon expert sites. This is simply the one that comes up again and again as best bang for the buck. I have to agree, set is well built, dice and pcs are quality, made of heavy material so they feel great. The set plays quietly which I prefer.The size is great, the stitching is great, I really have no complaints!If there was any down side I would say its the latches that seal the table when closed.

Really like the quality

Great product

Very nice Backgammon set. We love playing on it because the checkers are substantial, the board is large, and the dice roll nicely on its soft surface.

Excellent
