Backgammon may be the world's oldest board game. Invented in Mesopotamia, there is evidence of it being played in ancient Egypt, Rome, China, Japan, and England. Over the millennia it evolved into today's simple but multilayered game of tiles and strategy. Made by artisans in Lebanon, this game board is handcrafted using hundreds of tiny pieces--called tesserae--of inlaid walnut, olive, lemon, apricot, and rosewood. As each piece is handcrafted, exact colors and patterns of the inlay may vary. Can also play chess and checkers on the reverse of the folding case. Backgammon and checker pieces included.

This is a lovely, even stunning game board. One suggestion: the clasp joining the top to the bottom is inadequate. I should want a clasp that keeps the two together.

Ive been to the Middle East, Lebanon, Jordan several times, but I didnt buy this game called Tawleh then. Now I managed to get it from the US. Beautiful, meticulous workmanship, artistic work! Thanks to the Lebanese masters and NOVICA. Sincerely, Iskander from Hungary.

I bought this as gift for my mother, who loves a pretty sun-catcher, and she loves it. She hung it in a sunny bedroom window so she can enjoy it when she wakes up in the morning. if you dont have a sheltered outdoor spot for it, just find a sunny place inside and enjoy the light.
