For serious backgammon players looking for something special this is the perfect choice. This backgammon set is made on a hardwood frame covered in the smoothest calf leather. Each set takes several days to produce as it is painstakingly assembled by hand. It closes securely with two solid nickel locks.
The game of backgammon dates back 5,000 years with origins in ancient Mesopotamia. A backgammon board was even found in the tomb of King Tut.
Backgammon has long been a pastime popular with ancient aristocrats, Roman emperors, royalty, and celebrities.
Notable backgammon enthusiasts have included Douglas Fairbanks, Joan Crawford, Lucille Ball, Ringo Starr, Mick Jagger, Bob Dylan, and more!
