Questions parents ask
What is the difference between this and a cheaper mahogany backgammon set?
This board uses intarsia inlay fitted point by point, with solid brass furnishings, not a printed or stuck-on surface. The frame follows the same specification Jaques has used for over 200 years.
What age is a backgammon set suitable for?
This set is suggested from age 7 upwards. The rules are simple enough to learn at that age but the game stays challenging for adults.
Are the backgammon pieces wood or plastic?
The set includes a full quota of wooden playing pieces, each 3cm in diameter. There is no plastic in the pieces.
How many dice come with a backgammon set?
Five dice are included, along with two leatherette dice cups. That is enough for two players plus spares.
How big is the backgammon board when folded up?
Closed, the case measures approximately 38cm x 24cm x 5cm. Open for play it measures approximately 38cm x 48cm x 2.5cm.
How is the backgammon board made, is it inlaid or printed?
The board is made with intarsia inlay, and every wooden game point is fitted by hand in the Jaques Woodcraft Factory. It is not a printed surface.
Does a backgammon set need any special care?
No cleaning or care steps are given. The board is solid wood with brass fittings, built for many years and thousands of games.
Is this a good gift for Christmas or a birthday?
It is hand packaged with tissue paper, which customers say makes it feel like a proper presentation gift. It suits Christmas, birthdays, or any occasion needing a set that lasts.
