Exquisitely hand-carved from sturdy pieces of acacia and papdi wood, this portable backgammon set allows you to start a challenging match of the classic game in every possible scenario. The board, accented with green velvet, also works as a box thanks to its brass-plated iron fixtures, allowing each little piece to be stored securely in a convenient space.

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.
