Inspired by the pocket games soldiers carried in WWII, our handcrafted Travel Backgammon Board is small and lightweight, yet maximally functional.
Thoughtfully designed by classic game lovers, every board made from natural materials in Oregon. Popular since ancient Mesopotamian times, we hope you enjoy our modern travel version.
Designed to be played on bumpy rides and stashed securely in small pockets, bike bags, glove boxes, and backpacks. It's perfect for a game on the airplane/train, waiting at a restaurant, or in a hiking shelter on the trail.
