4.0 out of 5 stars
Nice backgammon set, January 18, 2008
= Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars = Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars = Educational:4.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Collector's Backgammon Case (Toy)
Overall this is a very nice backgammon set, not too big, not too small. My wife and I play on a regular basis and wanted a set that looked nice. This fit the bill. The only downside to this set is that it only comes with 15 pieces of each color so if you lose one you will be short. I've seen others that come with 16 pieces just in case. A nice set though for the price and we are very happy with our purchase.

This review is from: Collector's Backgammon Case (Toy)
There's nothing deluxe about this backgammon set. It's made of the cheapest, smelliest vinyl they could find. Even the spots where the pieces go on the board are cheap vinyl!! My set has spots where the stitching is loose and places where the fabric on the inside of the board is coming loose and it was that way brand new out of the box. It's a mess and the only reason I didn't return it was because in the end I would lose money because of the shipping cost. Please don't waste your money on this set!!!!! Also, the dice are the size of peas. The board smells so bad that my daughter doesn't even like to use it. The only positive thing I can say is that I like the little size because it would be easy to transport.

This review is from: Collector's Backgammon Case (Toy)
I have had this set for about a month now, and I could not be happier. I play backgammon with my girlfriend as often as we can make time, and we found it to be ideal in every circumstance.
The pieces are a solid and tile-like, the case looks and feels like leather, and the board itself is felt. The only downside is that the 4 outermost lines on the board that you put the pieces on are a bit covered by the tile holders. All the same, while the pieces on those lines may careen over to the adjacent lines, it really has no effect on the game.
Great price, great set. Could not ask for more.
