Folding Solid Wood Backgammon Board
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Played against a player at your own skill level backgammon is more fun than any other game I've played. Board games resembling backgammon were played in ancient Mesopotamia nearly three thousand years before the birth of Christ. The modern game, except for the doubling cube is four to five hundred years old. The doubling cube itself is less than 100 years old. The popularity of this classic game waxes and wanes. In the late 1970s and early 1980s it was hugely popular, with tournaments in clubs all over the country. Easily, one of my favorite board games.
This set is very handsome, with an inlaid pattern both inside and out. It will provide many years of pleasure for your entire family and give you the opportunity to hone your skills as popularity renews. Includes the book Starting Out in Backgammon by Paul Lamford. Unfolded the board measures 22-1/4" x 18".

Grand Band™
Do you prefer to carry your cash and credit cards in your front pocket, simply with a rubber band to hold everything together, but find the look a little common? Sitting on a wallet in the hip pocket is inconvenient and bulky, so I have taken to carrying the cash and cards in my right front pocket. A rubber band really helps.

Starting Out in Backgammon
Although the play is highly skilful, the fact that the moves rely on the fall of the dice introduces a large element of luck. The beauty of the game is that even a novice can win the odd game against a world champion.
