Historical Context and Fun Facts

Both Chess and Backgammon are among the oldest board games in the world, and their history is closely linked to military strategy and diplomacy. Backgammon, known in Greece as Tavli, is a direct descendant of ancient games like Ludus Duodecim Scriptorum. In ancient Greece and Rome, these games were so popular that they were played in taverns and during military campaigns. Chess represented a battle simulation on the field, where the king had to protect his territory with the help of knights and pawns. Manopoulos, a family company from Athens, combines these two traditions with the famous Greek passion for craft. Interestingly, Greeks are considered world masters of informal backgammon playing, which is an integral part of their café culture.

Care Instructions and Safety Warnings

To ensure this set serves you for many years, please handle it with care. The game board is made of materials sensitive to moisture, so never expose it to direct rain and do not store it in unheated, damp areas. Use only a dry or very slightly dampened soft cloth for cleaning. Never use aggressive chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the lacquered walnut-imitation surface. Warning: The set contains small parts (dice, pieces). There is a choking hazard, so keep the product out of the reach of children under 3 years of age. The pieces are intended for play, not for throwing, as this could result in damage to the product or injury to persons. We recommend choosing a stylish linen tablecloth from our range to go with this set, which will protect the bottom of the case from scratches during intense play.
