World
Championship Backgammon
Hand built for Champions, aficionados or just lovers of this wonderful
game & those who appreciate items of great beauty & craft.
Our Backgammon encompasses all that is Geoffrey Parker – attention
to detail, our special skill of hand inlaying, our consultations with
giants of the game over the years, the specially tanned leathers for
speed of play and to withstand the rigours of late night gaming.
As Nick Foulkes wrote in GQ in January 2004 “if his finest creation,
the tournament-size Championship board, were a car it would be the Bentley
Arnage T, super-chic, super-fast, in fact just plain super” and
commenting later in the article on our specially weighted leather stones/checkers
designed with the help of Backgammon guru & former World Champion,
Paul Magriel back in the Seventies, he goes on to say “If Hermès
ever made miniature air-hockey pucks, they would look like this.”
