Pocket Backgammon Board - Monograms Available - Small Leather Travel Set - Gift for Game Lovers

Inspired by the pocket games carried by soldiers in World War II, our travel backgammon boards are compact, lightweight, and practical.

Designed by fans of the classic game, each board is crafted from natural materials in our Oregon workshop. Backgammon has been a popular game since ancient Mesopotamia, and we hope you enjoy our modern travel version.

Our travel backgammon board is compact and safe for play on bumpy roads, storing securely in small pockets, bike bags, glove boxes, and backpacks. It's perfect for playing on planes or trains, while waiting at a restaurant, or in a shelter on a hiking trail.

We can also monogram it for a personalized piece or thoughtful gift.

Our travel backgammon board features: - Handmade in the USA from high-quality natural materials - Folding design for a compact yet stable board game experience - Separate storage compartments for all game pieces and components: dice, game pieces with storage, and a multiplier cube. (Missing a dice cup? Make your own with simple classroom origami!) - Comes with a quick start guide with scorecards. More scorecards are available for free printouts on our website. (We found that a sharpened golf pencil also fits in the cup for keeping track of scores!) - Lightweight and portable for easy travel - Nails instead of pegs secure the pegs, ensuring they stay put during transport. - Durable magnets keep them closed - Dice and peg sets available - All weighing only 2.6 ounces! ***Hey, ounce counters!*** Go ultralight with a natural set: wooden dice and pegs.
