Product Description

From the workshop of Manopoulos in Athens Greece comes a collection of beautiful, hand crafted backgammon sets in a variety of unique designs and wood combinations. This backgammon set features a beautiful mahogany wood exterior that opens to a mahogany playing surface with black and maple points. The rich, warm color of the mahogany creates a beautiful backdrop for the playing surface and contrasting the blue and maple points - the look is sharp and elegant!

Chip racks on both sides of the board conveniently hold chips that are not in play. The blue and ivory multi-color chips are made from a high quality plastic that have a mother-of-pearl look. Included with this backgammon set are two sets of dice, a doubling cube, a burgundy velour draw-string accessory bag, two wood dice cups, instructions on how to play backgammon, and an attractive black carrying bag with the Manopoulos logo. Whether for yourself or a gift, this backgammon set is bound to please with its old world quality and craftsmanship.

A Note from The Backgammon Store

This backgammon set is handmade by highly skilled craftsmen and as such, has inherent characteristics, both the wood and craftsmanship, that makes each backgammon set different and unique. Do not expect "perfection" as if this backgammon set was mass produced from a machine like many are, but rather, a unique piece of art.

This review is from: Manopoulos Mahogany Backgammon Set with Blue & Maple Points - Large (Toy)

Purchased this for a x-mas gift. The Chess Store sent it out right away and made it by x-mas. No problems, very speedy and they provided a tracking number right away. One the product arrived, it did not look exactly as pictured on the website. It was missing the carrying handle. Called them to complain and they checked all of their inventory. Apparently the manufacturer changed the design. They credited me some money for the mis-representation and were very cooperative. I am very pleased with their professionalism and would highly recommend them.
