Questions parents ask
Is this backgammon set actually good quality or just for looks?
The board is hand stitched from top-grade tan leather, and the counters are heavyweight rather than thin plastic. Jaques has made games since 1795, so this is a set built on long experience, not a quick import.
What age is a backgammon set suitable for?
It suits players from around 6 to 7 years and up. Backgammon is simple enough for a beginner to learn quickly but stays interesting for experienced players too.
Are the counters and dice included or sold separately?
Everything needed for a full game is included. That is 15 cream and 15 brown heavyweight counters at 20mm diameter, plus a set of precision-made dice.
How big is a roll up backgammon board when packed away?
The leather roll measures 35cm by 26cm when closed. It is sized for a bag or suitcase pocket, which is the point of the roll-up design.
Does a leather backgammon board need any special care?
No cleaning steps are given for this set. It is made from top-grade tan leather and designed to be rolled up after play rather than left flat.
Are the backgammon counters weighted or lightweight plastic?
They are heavyweight counters, 20mm in diameter, 15 cream and 15 brown. Weighted pieces sit properly on the board and do not slide around during play.
Is a leather roll-up backgammon set good for travelling?
Yes, that is the main design point. The board rolls up neatly rather than folding as a box, so it packs flat for weekends away or travel.
Is this a good backgammon set to buy as a gift?
It works well as a first board or an upgrade from a basic set. It comes complete with counters and dice, so it is ready to give and ready to play.
