Buying Guide
What size backgammon set should I choose?
Choose size based on where and how you play.
– Travel / holidays / cafés: compact or travel-size sets
– Regular home play: medium sets are usually the most practical
– Display / gifting / dedicated table use: larger sets offer more presence and comfort
If you play often at home, most people are happiest with a medium-to-large board rather than a very small travel set.
What is the difference between wood, synthetic and leatherette?
The right material depends on use, maintenance and the look you want.
– Wood: classic appearance, often preferred for display and gifting
– Synthetic: practical, durable, lower-maintenance
– Leatherette: refined presentation, often gift-friendly, easy to wipe clean
Material affects appearance and feel, but build quality matters just as much as the surface finish.
What details affect backgammon set quality?
The best indicators are in the build and how the set feels in use.
Look for:
– Smooth, reliable hinges and alignment
– Clean points/inlay work
– Checkers with a good weight and glide
– Comfortable dice cups
– A tidy finish inside and out
A set can look attractive in photos but still feel poor if these details are weak.
Is a backgammon set a good gift?
Yes – especially if you choose the size and finish to match the recipient.
Backgammon sets work well for:
– Housewarming gifts
– Birthdays
– Corporate gifting
– Players upgrading from a basic board
For gifting, presentation, finish and included accessories often matter as much as gameplay specs.
How should I care for and store a backgammon set?
Keep it clean, dry and stored flat or securely closed when not in use.
Practical care tips:
– Wipe with a soft cloth after use
– Avoid heat, damp and direct sun for long periods
– Do not overload storage compartments
– Store dice and checkers neatly to protect the lining/playing surface
Good care helps preserve both the finish and the playing feel.
