Thoughtfully designed by classic game lovers, we make every board from natural materials in our Oregon workshop. Popular since ancient Mesopotamian times, we hope you enjoy our modern travel version.
We designed our Travel Backgammon Board to be played on bumpy rides and stashed securely in small pockets, bike bags, glove boxes, and backpacks. It's perfect for a game on the airplane/train, waiting at a restaurant, or in a hiking shelter on the trail.
We can also monogram it for a personalized piece and thoughtful gifts.
Features
Quality, natural materials handmade in USA
Folding design for a small-yet-stable board game experience
Self-contained storage for all game pieces and parts: dice, game pieces with storage, and doubling cube. (Fold your own paper dice cup with simple classroom origami!)
Lightweight and pocket-sized for travel
Stays closed with durable magnets
Choices of kit for dice and game piece
Pegging instead of checkers for game pieces stay secure during movement.
A quick start guide with a scorecard. Print more scorecards for free on our website. (For keeping score, we found that a sharpened-down golf pencil will fit inside, too!)
All of this weighs as little as 2.6 oz!
Hey ounce-counters! Go ultralight with the natural kit: wood dice and nails. Bonus: the nails are easy to replace out in the world at any hardware store!
EACH ORDER INCLUDES
Folding leather-and-wood backgammon board with bi-color triangles
(32) game pieces (15 for play +1 spare, per player) in black and brass.
(2) slider tins (1 per player), used for organized game piece storage and "bearing off" container
Tapered shaft stays wedged-in and secure when being moved mid-game
Stands proud above the board for greater visibility
Heavier weight for easier gripping and solid, serious handfeel
Made in USA
HOW TO PLAY BACKGAMMON
New to backgammon? It's fun and easy to learn! Our board design includes several prompts to make learning easy and quick: there are prompts in the gutters for how many pegs to set up in each triangle at set-up, and arrows showing the flow of play (clockwise / counter-clockwise) for Players A and B.
We include a printed quick start guide along with a folding score card to get you started with every purchase. Print more scorecards on our Free Game Printables page.
