Description & Details
Most travel games look like an afterthought the moment you open them, this one doesn't.
Art of Backgammon folds down to the size of a book and opens into a genuinely elegant board, so you get a set worth playing on wherever you take it.
- Slips into any bag: a slim, book-style case with no bulky box to carry around.
- A board that still turns heads: bold red and blue tones and a 20th-century inspired design make it as good to look at as it is to play on.
- Set up and playing in seconds: the acrylic surface opens flat and ready, no assembly required.
- Easy for anyone to pick up: clear instructions included in English, French and German.
Made for: Anyone who wants a compact backgammon set that still feels like a considered object, not a throwaway travel toy.
- Thin acrylic playing board
- Book-fold opening, no assembly
- 2 players, ages 5 and up
- Instructions in English, French and German
Ships from the UK with tracked delivery and a 30 day return window. Add it to your bag and never play on a phone screen again.

Frequently Asked Questions
Because it's built from real materials, not printed plastic pieces in a cardboard box. Every set uses genuine wood or leather, named clearly on the product page, and is made to be played for years rather than replaced after one holiday. You're paying for what it's made of and how long it lasts, not for a brand markup.
It depends on the set. Our Luxury range uses solid lacquered wood, mirrored acrylic or smooth faux leather, always named on the product page, never hidden behind vague terms like "premium finish." Our Backgammon Sets range uses a durable acrylic playing surface. Nothing is disguised as something it isn't.
Solid wood naturally responds to heat and humidity, so we recommend keeping your set away from direct sunlight and radiators, the same care you'd give any quality furniture. Stored and used normally, the board is built to hold its shape and finish for decades, not seasons.
Yes, and it's one that gets used rather than put in a drawer. Every set ships in its own case, ready to give as is, and if it's not quite right, we offer a 30 day free return, so there's no pressure to get it perfect on the first try.
