Sondergut Deluxe Premium Backgammon

I love the smaller version for portability. The down side is the dice roll off quite often. The larger board is like a full size board. They are both easy to set up and stow away. I was going to keep one and give the other away, but they seem to have different purposes - depending on how much room you have, where you are playing and your frustration tolerance of re-rolling dice because they fall off the small board or land on pieces more than the larger board. I hope the pictures give you a decent comparison. They are both well made and will serve you well.

Beautifully crafted! Love this - was apprehensive about spending as much as I did but it was SO WORTH IT. This will be a game we will have forever. The checkers are quality wood and finishings high end. Easy to set up and the ribbons inside the zipper make getting the checkers out seamlessly. Replaced a cheap made-in-China “wood” one and this was a perfect choice. Highly recommend.

Expensive but very well thought out design and executed with attention to detail using quality materials. Other boards roll up but have no sides to contain the dice. While this one is not magnetic the markers stay in place without any problems. Easy to use in small spaces like trains and planes and it doesn’t take up much packing space.

This is a nice game, but it's not quite as nice as the previous version. And it costs more. The pips don't have the same satisfying heft as they had before.

All leather! A little tricky initially to lock open, but you learn how to do it. Very happy With the game set.

Really nice backgammon board to take when traveling. Larger size for easier playing but rolls up compact. The raised edges keep the dice from rolling off the board.I may try to replace the wooden pieces with ones that are heavier.

I’m pretty sure I got a bored that had been returned, btu upon arrival, once side near the end where the chips rolls up would not stand up flat. Upon closer inspection I found the end appeared to be split into two, so I couldn’t even get this board to lay out, usually a few seconds after I’d roll it out it would just roll itself right back up.This appears to be very nice quality, but I ended up going with their smaller, non deluxe board after receiving this one used/broken. I like the smaller, non sided board better for a couple of reasons. 1) you can get the smaller board to lay flat nicely 2) it won’t wear out or break on the sides 3) it won’t roll up on its own.Again this is likely a very nice board, but was pretty disappointed when a $100 board showed up broken, I’m skeptical that it’s going to last the test of time.

Best travel backgammon I could find. Made of great quality materials. Totally worth the extra dollars.
