WE Games Backgammon Set, Board Games for Adults - Travel Games - Black with Gray Stripe Magnetic Leatherette Backgammon Board and Carrying Strap - Travel Backgammon Sets for Adults

My wife and I enjoy playing backgammon at restaurants while waiting for food to be served, and the WE Games Travel Backgammon set is perfect for us. With its compact 9x14 opened size, we can set it on the smallest of tables and not have it in the way of the food after it is served. The manufacturing quality of the set is excellent and well worth the price. When opened, the board lies flat as it should. Although the checkers are naturally smaller than those of a full-size set, we find them quite easy to handle, and being magnetic they stick nicely in position if we slide the opened board around.The biggest complaints we have are trivial. With the closed set is the size of a large hard-backed novel, the wrist strap is not a good way to carry it, but it is easily removed. When open, the center bar is not flat from side-to-side, but that is more aesthetic than anything else, because the magnetic checkers stick to it just fine, even if the lean and appear that they might fall off.All in all, if you are looking for a small backgammon set, this is a great one.

Great product, price, easy online ordering, excellent shipping & delivery. Excellent game for teenage granddaughters.

Beautiful high quality item with the right features at the perfect size! The pieces are big enough to handle/play comfortably. The magnetic pieces stay in place and even the dice are slightly magnetic - not enough to interfere with rolls but enough to slow them down so they stay on the board. (At first I thought the dice were disproportionately small however after using them I realized that the size allows for a more aggressive roll - bigger dice would probably fly off the board or would only be able to be dropped not rolled. I would have liked the pairs of dice to come in colors to match the checkers but it doesn't interfere with play) Great item that looks stylish, is right size for travel and feels like it will last for years and years of road trips!

First of all, I received a copy of this set which hasn't the same flaw as shown on the official videos on youtube. The whole set opens completely, without one side being 'hanged' in the air.The overall build quality is really good.Set's size is okay for travelling, but I wouldn't expect you could put it in your tightly packed backpack or a bag in case of travelling without a car.One of the reasons I've purchased this set is that it contains soft dice cups and the whole finish is soft too. Sometimes I play backgammon in cafes with my girlfriend and we don't want to distract others because of the sound of rolling dices. This set is ideal for quietening your play.Pieces are okay overall, they're quite nice, but I confirm reviews of other users that each piece has a dot on the side that lacks paint. It's not a no-buy issue, but it's there for the perfectionists. Dices are okay, but most likely you will want to use some better ones.Now, what brings me the pain of using this set is how pieces are handled across the board. I mean, it's not THAT terrible, but damn, these leather triangles that imitate a hole for a piece prevent pieces from smooth sliding on the board. Pieces constantly cling upon them and in most situations you will want to pick them and place them where they belong instead of sliding them. The same goes for pieces that are sitting in the corner of the board. And on top of all of this, all of the pieces are extremely small and perfectly flat which makes lifting them up a hard task. Probably, I will look for better options of pieces later.The set is not perfect, but really good. I don't want to return it, but maybe just because of the fact, I haven't seen anything better than this one.

The size is great for use when traveling. The product also seems to be well made.

This is a nice Backgammon set. Closed, it's about the size of a hardcover book, nice for travel. The pieces feel well made, nice and smooth.I am a fan of the "Lost" TV series. This is the same model they used in "Lost", first season, episode 2. I have purchased it and compared it to the shows footage, they are the same. You can look here for a picture of the backgammon set they auctioned off from the set after "Lost" ended.[...]This is not 'deluxe', high-end quality. Well made, but not very fancy, but not cheaply made plastic. I can see it lasting a long time, not something I foresee having to replace from wear. This is a nice set, the pieces are magnetic, so it's easier to keep them together, so they don't get lost :)

We only recently discovered backgammon and we love it. This set is perfect for travel. Doesn’t take up much space room like a full sized set would. Lots of fun.

Was looking for a travel game for vacation and the beach. This game fit the bill. I love the zippered enclosure as all pieces are safe from getting lost. The magnetic aspect is also another awesome safeguard. Game just the right size (would not want to be any smaller), nicely padded and good quality. Don’t hesitate to buy this item if the size is acceptable.
