A Journey Through History

Backgammon is one of the oldest known board games in existence. Its lineage can be traced back nearly 5,000 years to the Royal Game of Ur in Mesopotamia. The Romans played a very similar version called Ludus Duodecim Scriptorum, and it remained a favourite among the European aristocracy and crusaders throughout the Middle Ages. In Greece and the Levant, the game is known as Tavli and remains a staple of social life to this day. This set brings that rich Mediterranean heritage to your table, combining ancient gameplay with modern manufacturing techniques.

Care and Safety Instructions

To ensure your backgammon set remains in pristine condition for years to come, please follow these guidelines:

• Clean the surface only with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents.
• Keep the board away from extreme heat sources and direct sunlight to prevent warping of the wood.
• Store the game in a dry environment to protect the laminated frame.
• Choking hazard: Keep dice and checkers away from small children.
• Always use the provided dice cups to shake the dice; this reduces direct impact on the lacquered surface and prolongs its life.

We recommend pairing this set with a handcrafted leather dice pouch for secure transport or exploring our collection of historical chess sets to complete your gaming library.
