Where to buy a backgammon board

Once you have decided that you want to invest in a backgammon board you need to decide first of all what type and size you wish to purchase, and how much money you wish to spend.

Prices range depending on the type, the size and the style. The most common type of board is the Attach backgammon board. This is designed like a briefcase and so is easily transportable and has felt or leather insides, so is preferred by professional players. The size of the board is important because if its too big its hard to transport, but if its too small its fiddly to play with. It is often proffered that a backgammon set with pieces of around 1.75 inch is preferable.

There are many reasons to buy a backgammon board; obviously for playing, but also possibly as a gift or as an ornamental reminder of a life-long love; more decorative than practical perhaps. If the later is the case it is a good idea to buy a backgammon board from a designer, who will hand make a backgammon set to your specific taste and requirements.

However, if you want to buy a backgammon board for hard use, the best place to start looking is your backgammon website.
