Questions parents ask
15 inch or a bigger backgammon set, which should I get?
This is the 15 inch Club Backgammon set, closing to about 38cm x 24cm x 5.5cm and opening out to roughly 48cm x 38cm. That open size gives enough room for standard play without needing a large table, which is why it is described as a club size set. If you want something more compact for travel or a smaller table, check whether Jaques offers a smaller version, but this size suits regular home play.
What size are the counters and dice in this backgammon set?
The playing counters are approximately 2.5cm in diameter, sized to sit comfortably on the points without feeling fiddly. The dice measure 1.5cm x 1.5cm x 1.5cm, and each dice shaker measures up to about 7.2cm x 7.2cm x 4.3cm. These measurements are all listed by Jaques so you know exactly what fits in the case before it arrives.
What age is backgammon suitable for?
Jaques suggests this backgammon set from around age 6 to 7 upwards. At that age children can usually grasp the dice and counter movement, though the strategy side of the game tends to develop further with practice. It works well as a family set that a child can grow into rather than outgrow quickly, since the rules and tactics stay engaging for older players too.
Does this backgammon set fold up for storage?
Yes. It closes down to approximately 38cm x 24cm x 5.5cm, small enough to slide onto a shelf or into a cupboard between games. The leatherette case is the storage case itself, so counters, dice and shakers pack away into one unit rather than needing a separate box. This makes it straightforward to put away in seconds after a game rather than leaving pieces loose.
Is a backgammon set a good gift for someone who already has games?
It is designed with gifting in mind. Jaques packages this set in its signature gift wrap as standard, so it arrives ready to give without extra wrapping needed. The leatherette case also gives it a finished, presentable look rather than a plain cardboard box. It suits a range of recipients, from a family member to a friend, or as a treat for yourself.
What is included in the Jaques backgammon set?
The set includes the leatherette folding case, which forms the board when opened, along with counters, dice, and dice shakers. Counters are about 2.5cm across, dice are 1.5cm cubes, and the shakers measure up to 7.2cm x 7.2cm x 4.3cm. Everything needed to play is contained in the one case, so there is nothing extra to buy before you can start a game.
How much table space do I need for this backgammon set?
Opened out, the board measures approximately 48cm x 38cm, so you will want a table or flat surface at least that size to play comfortably. Closed, it takes up much less room at about 38cm x 24cm x 5.5cm, making it easy to store between games. This makes it practical for a dining table or coffee table rather than needing a dedicated games surface.
Is this a traditional backgammon set or a modern travel version?
This is described as a traditional backgammon set, built around the classic 15 inch club format rather than a compact travel design. It comes in a leatherette case that doubles as the board and storage, which is the traditional style of construction for this kind of set. If you specifically want a travel version, look for a smaller Jaques set built for portability instead.
