Product Description
With crisp, clean lines on the inside and a dark, padded faux leather exterior, this classic backgammon set would be right at home in a VIP players room. The cups, checkers, and board surface are all made of solid wood, and the board surface is created with alternating colors of inlaid woods. Two hidden inset magnets keep the backgammon case securely closed when not playing.

 Backgammon is a good game but this set isn't worth it. May 22, 2008

This backgammon set isn't bad -- but it's not much better than the typical $10 one you can pick up at Target or Toys R Us.
There's little difference in quality. The one feature that caught my eye when I ordered it, the real wood, is actually worse than the cheapo versions I mentioned. The wood is of poor quality, and the dark triangles blend in with the background wood making it hard to see the board properly, and the wooden pieces are flimsy and light, easily scattered and worn. The buckle and handle have more heft than a cheapo version, but simply feel clunky rather than solid and strong. Just heavier. The one thing that is arguably better are the dice rolling cups. The wood has a nice grain to it brought out by the light stain.
Oh, and there isn't even an instruction page. Of course most people who buy this already know how to play, but sometimes I forget how to set up. It would have been nice to at least have the initial diagram, and maybe rules about bearing off properly (people sometimes disagree about proper bearing off.)
So again, nothing outright wrong, but I have a feeling I'll use my $10 cloth and vinyl set more. Disappointing.

Backgammon is a great game for friends or couples. My husband and I like games, but quickly found there aren't a lot for just two people. This one is great. Pretty easy to learn, there is strategy involved and it's just a lot of fun.
