The actual backgammon set that I received looks exactly like the one in the photo. The shipper did a very good job of packaging, and the shipping process (from Mexico to Canada) was very smooth. Best of all, the item is extremely affordable. I highly recommend this vendor and this product. A+ rating! ======= Le jeu de backgammon que j'ai re?u ressemble exactement ? celui de la photo.

I have admired this Backgammon board for a few years, and received it this past Christmas. Pictures do not do it justice. It is stunning. I think that it would be a nice added touch if the die were hand made in a similar fashion. Also, I agree with the other review about the clasp - it will not hold, so I am very careful when I move it. Neither of these observations take away from the intricate mosaic woodwork. I love it!

Excellent product & workmanship! So popular, it was originally out of stock before Xmas. Finally was able to order after the holidays for my adult son's birthday. His whole family LOVES this game---parents, teen-aged kids, & 6yr old. All can play alone, or as a family...even while traveling! I am so pleased & have bought several other things from this company. Very well trusted & will definitely buy again.

The historical origins of chess are commonly attributed to a game played in India in the 6th century, chaturanga or "the four parts of an army," infantry, chariots, horses and elephants. The Persians took interest and adapted the game; from them comes the term shah mat or "checkmate." It is believed the Moors introduced the game to Europe via Spain. Since then, the fascination with chess continues to evolve and the game is played throughout the world.
Novica contributes to the worldwide propagation of the legendary game with chess sets that are crafted by hand from a variety of materials. In Brazil, Rogerio Martins transforms tin into original chess pieces, while Samuel and Francis Agbey hand-carve wood chess sets that are rich in African tribal stylizations. Khyali Ram perpetuates India's chess legacy with elegant wood sets, some of which include backgammon sets.
Ketut Sandi carves highly detailed ornamental backgammon and chess sets that also function as decorative tables. His inspiration comes from nature, the Ramayana, or Buddhist themes, amongst others.
Mexico's Armando Ramirez strategy is to approach the game from an eco-friendly position as he recycles auto parts into one-of-a-kind chess sets that challenge you to identify each piece!
