If you're looking for a backgammon set that feels special and luxurious, this 15-inch Middleton Games set is absolutely beautiful. When closed, it looks like a sophisticated brown attache case with a rugged luggage-style handle that makes it easy to carry to game nights or trips. But when you open it up - wow!
The playing surface is this incredibly plush faux-suede that you'll find yourself stroking because it just feels so luxurious. The old world map design on the board is elegant and classy, giving it that timeless look that never goes out of style. The checkers are substantial - 1 inch by 1/4 inch - with a nice weight to them that feels satisfying to move around the board. They fit perfectly on the points with almost no gap even when you have six checkers lined up.
The set comes with everything you need: those hefty checkers, a 1-inch doubling cube, 1/2-inch dice, and matching leather-style dice cups that complete the premium experience. The side pockets hold everything snugly when you pack up, so nothing rattles around during transport. At 15x9x2.5 inches when closed, it's compact enough to store easily but substantial enough to feel like a proper gaming set. Whether you're a serious backgammon player or just want a beautiful game set for occasional play, this one delivers both in style and quality. It's the kind of set that makes game night feel like a special occasion!
