Modern backgammon, a modern playing experience
Modern backgammon boards bring the traditional idea of backgammon together with contemporary design, different materials and personalisation options.
With leather-covered bodies, carefully designed playing surfaces and a choice of colours, modern backgammon boards are designed to offer an enjoyable playing experience and to be a stylish piece that adds character to any room.
Whether you are looking for a board for everyday use, a more professional set for long games, or a design made especially for a person or company, we offer options for different needs.
Body: leather covering and solid construction
In our modern backgammon boards, the leather covering applied over a solid body gives the product both a distinctive look and a durable exterior.
The leather can be personalised with different colours, textures and designs. With a name, logo, custom pattern or image, the outside of the board can take on a character that is entirely your own.
To make the folding structure suitable for frequent use, materials and techniques suited to the product's intended use are chosen for the body, corners and joints.
Playing surface: cloth and design
The playing area of modern backgammon boards uses densely woven playing surfaces similar to the cloth used on billiard tables.
The texture of the cloth is one of the key factors affecting how the dice and checkers move during play. It also offers a softer playing feel and more controlled play than wooden or hard surfaces.
The points and lines can be designed in different colours and patterns to match the overall character of the board.
Checkers and playing equipment
The board alone does not define the experience of a modern backgammon set. The weight, diameter and surface of the checkers and the quality of the dice also directly affect how the game feels.
Depending on the model, backgammon checkers, dice and dice cups with different characteristics may be used. Some models may also feature custom-designed checkers and personalised playing equipment.
The checkers and accessories supplied with each model are listed on its product page.
Personalised designs
One of the greatest strengths of modern backgammon boards is that the design can be adapted to personal preferences.
A name, signature, logo, custom pattern, photo or other images can be applied to the leather surface or other suitable areas. Different colour options for the leather and the playing surface can also be considered.
This way, instead of a standard board, you can create a design that is entirely yours.
We consider custom production requests for a range of purposes, from personal gifts for special occasions to corporate gifts bearing a company logo.
Tournament play and long-term use
For those who take the game more seriously, what matters is not only how the board looks, but also the experience it offers during play.
The right size, balanced checkers, quality dice, the right playing surface and a solid body are the key factors that determine how comfortable a board is over long games.
In models chosen for tournaments or heavy use, these features are considered together. The technical specifications, dimensions and equipment supplied with each model are stated on its product page.
How to choose your backgammon board
When choosing a modern backgammon board, we recommend first thinking about how you will use it.
For everyday use: More compact and easily portable models may be preferred.
For long and frequent games: Models with a larger playing area, suitable dimensions and balanced playing equipment are worth considering.
As a gift: The board can be made more personal with options such as the leather colour, a custom pattern, a name or an image.
For corporate use: Boards can be made especially for a company with its logo, brand colours and custom designs.
The dimensions, materials, playing equipment and available personalisation options of each model are described in detail on its product page.
