Product Description

Our Redeye Backgammon Set is an extra large, tournament size backgammon set with a beautiful red leatherette case, red cork playing surface accented by dark and light blue points, and dark blue and white chips. Our exclusive line of tournament size, cork-lined, backgammon sets are the very best value for the price in the world. Not only is this a large, tournament size backgammon set, but we use 1/8" thick cork for the playing surface and side rails. This makes for a soft, quiet roll of the dice. The cork is stained with up to 3 coats of to create a beautiful, rich color and then we silk screen the points. The result is an excellent playing surface with flush points so that you can slide chips from point to point, unlike sewn or glued points found on cheaper sets which tend to catch the chips.

You will find high quality hardware including hinges and latches plus we added the extra feature of brass corners to protect the case when you take it out. This backgammon set includes 2 dice cups, two sets of dice, and a doubling cube. All in all, this backgammon set has features serious players love and that you normally find on backgammon sets priced over $300 at less than half the price.

This review is from: The Redeye Tournament Size Backgammon Set (Toy)

Purchased this set from The Chess Store, through Amazon. This is an excellent set at a great value. The set is huge, the cork surface is a joy to play on. The set is well made and should give years of play.

One problem was the color of the chips (I do have some color-blindness), the chips appeared so similar in color that I could not tell them apart easily. I contacted The Chess Store and they quickly sent me new chips of my choice of color to correct my problem.
