To set up a backgammon board, each player places 15 checkers in the standard starting positions across the four quadrants of the board, with both players arranging their pieces in mirrored positions before play begins. At Eleish Van Breems Home, we carry backgammon sets suited to home use and travel. A leather backgammon set can be a practical option for travel or storage.
Which details define a quality backgammon set?
When choosing a backgammon set, consider the board size, checker quality, number of dice included and whether the set comes with a doubling cube and dice cups. Some sets may also include storage compartments or additional accessories. Our team recommends reviewing individual product details to confirm what each set includes. Compare formats with our chess set collection for other traditional game options.
How is a backgammon set displayed between games?
A backgammon set can be displayed open on a side table or suitable surface, allowing the board and playing pieces to become part of the room's décor. When not in use, a cased set can be stored on a shelf alongside other indoor games. Choose a location where the set is easy to access and the case can be shown as a decorative object in its own right.
How should a backgammon set be cared for and stored?
Care requirements for a backgammon set can vary depending on the finish and materials of the specific piece. Keep the set away from excessive heat and moisture, and store it closed when not in use to protect the playing surface and pieces. For specialised care, follow any guidance provided with the individual product. You can view all available sets in the poker set
