Large sets

Full-size boards with comfortable spacing and a substantial feel. Ideal for regular home play, longer sessions and a proper table setup, where presentation, playing comfort and a traditional board experience matter most.

Current range

Medium sets

A balanced size for everyday use – easier to store than large sets, without feeling cramped in play. A solid choice for most homes, offering a comfortable playing surface while still remaining practical to move, store and bring out regularly.

Current range

Small sets

A neat, space-conscious size without feeling too minimal in play. Easy to store, easy to live with, and well suited to everyday use. A practical choice for coffee tables, shelves and casual games where a full-size board is not ideal.

Current range

Travel sets

Compact formats designed for easy packing and quick setups. Ideal for trips, smaller spaces, or keeping a set close without dedicating much room. Best when portability matters more than a full-size playing surface, with roll-up and zip-case options that keep the pieces neatly contained.

Buying Guide

A practical guide to choosing the right backgammon set size, materials and build quality for play, travel and gifting.
For setup and play instructions, read our Backgammon Rules.

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 small or 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.

Do checker size and board size need to match?

Yes. Checker size should be in proportion to the board so the playing surface feels comfortable and balanced. If the checkers are too large, the board can feel cramped during play. If they are too small, the set can feel less substantial and less satisfying to use. A well-matched set gives you smoother movement, better spacing, and a more refined playing experience.

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
  • Wedding gifts
  • 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.
