I love playing Backgammon, but a traditional board needs a flat, level surface and it doesn't take much of a knock to mess up the board during play. One solution is a magnetic set, but I seem to spend more time unsticking the counters from one another than I do playing! Surely there's a better way?! There is - a simple, slotted board.
This item consists of a 384mm x 326mm [15.1" x 12.8"] backgammon board, with slots to contain the counters in play. This item breaks down into four, interlocking pieces to enhance its portability. For other options please see:
The 'table' version (full-sized board, but in a single piece) - http://www.ponoko.com/showroom/rraadd/games-backgammon-board-table-1827
The 'travel' version (full-sized board, but in two, interlocking pieces) - http://www.ponoko.com/showroom/rraadd/games-backgammon-board-travel-1826
The 'micro' version (half-sized board, in four, interlocking pieces) - http://www.ponoko.com/showroom/rraadd/games-backgammon-board-micro-1824
The material options, below, all use 3mm [1/8"] -thick acrylic plastic, but I'd be happy to supply this design in any of the materials, plastic or wood, that Ponoko offers. Please contact me for a quote if you'd like to use an alternative material or thickness. For options see http://www.ponoko.com/make-and-sell/materials
Other customisation/personalisation options and a 'Colour Pre-visualiser' are available at http://tions.net/go.html#r.03.01.03
If you order a 'plus counters' option you'll get 16 red and 16 black counters, made from 3mm [1/8"] acrylic. If you'd like to source your own counters (instead of buying them from me), you'll need to find some that are less than 19mm [¾"] in diameter to fit in the slots.
Please note that you will need to source your own doubling cube and dice.
I can ship this product anywhere that Ponoko can reach, but I'll need to quote you for your specific location. Please contact me for a shipping quote.
Please feel free to contact me before you buy if you have any questions!
