Product Description

Executive 15" Backgammon Set in a black case with a stylish diagonal grey stripe and new silver horse shoe latches. Includes chips, dice and cups. Backgammon is known to be one of the oldest games ever to exist and was unquestionably the most universally widespread. Modern day Backgammon was not invented overnight. It is a creation evolved from many versions of the game that have been passed along from generation to generation. Backgammon is a game of fortune as well as skill, but the rules are very simple and easy to learn. The history of the game has been linked to the aristocracy of ancient empires proven by artifacts as well as legendary references from Persia, Greece, Rome, and the Far East. Backgammon is also associated with the game of Senet, in ancient Egypt, found in King Tut's original tomb. Backgammon is an excellent way to enjoy a night at home with your family and friends.

This review is from: Black Grey Backgammon - 15" (Toy)

Gave this to my husband for his birthday. He had no interest in Backgammon whatsoever but liked the colors. After a year of sitting on the shelf he rediscovered his gift and played it constantly with his friends. It is fairly light and easy to carry around. It is also very durable with no signs of wear after 3 or so years.

Would recommend this for a gift!
