Table-top boards
For those who play Backgammon reguarly or have a dedicated games room where their precious board is always ready for play, our Table-top boards are just the ticket.
Constructed in the same way as our folding attaché boards on a solid wood core. A full stone/checker width bar is provided and all the usual accessories and options are provided throughout the range of sizes and classes. Bearing-off is provided on one side of the board with stowage for all stones/checkers, dice cups, Doubling cube and dice.

Championship Class
The pièce de résistance of our Backgammon range - after consultation in the Seventies with whom many regard as the "guru" of Backgammon, then World Champion, Paul Magriel, we designed our famous handmade weighted leather stones/checkers - extremely fast to play with and a highly tactile gaming piece painstakingly built on a papier-mâché former after applying layer upon layer of board and glue. A hole is then punched through the centre and a lead weight inserted for the ideal playing weight............then the hard bit..........our master craftsmen take two discs of leather and apply these to top and bottom and then take a strip of leather which they meticulously pare down the edges to almost nothing using a ancient leather-worker technique (sadly dying out these days) of fine-edging with a special hand knife. Then the edges are burnished to almost make the joins "disappear". This task, repeated thirty times is a labour of love as well as a master craft, which takes almost as long as the whole board takes to manufacture. We recommend that Magnolia stones/checkers are not ordered, as these not only do not make as well as we would like (the joins have a tendency to go black when cut and therefore are difficult to make "invisible") but also with constant handling, they do tend to soil more readily than the other colours - therefore we usually will take the third colour of the board as the second set of stones. These can be made plain or we can emboss a simple circle in gold or silver if required?
To complement the stones, a hand inlaid leather Doubling Cube is beautifully made and embossed with gold or silver numbers.
