I’ve got enough boards for a tournament while you are here!

Post the collection! I’d always be down for tournament.

Before covid, there was a backgammon group that played weekly. It stopped during covid and never started back up.

Host it, and they will come.

Thanks! I am psyched it arrived. It is a Wycliffe Brothers board from Gammon Village. 21" tournament board with black case and grey field.

This thread was very helpful. Picked up this one from crisloid. Now customizing a travel set.

@johnjohn You belong on my ignore list for waking up this thread and finding a new hole in my wallet. Thanks and good bye! That is all.

You will not be disappointed - just got my first Crisloid and it’s amazing.

Also picked up this Manopoulos inlaid leather board…

Decent price for a 1-1/2" checker set. Somebody should jump on it.

If I didn’t just order an Artgammon board…

Just stumbled in here...I love backgammon! I'll have to take pics of my boards, but here's something for now.

So I’ve been a YouTuber for 5+ years now doing tech product reviews and figured I’d start a little side project reviewing all the boards in my collection (I think I’m at 10 now). If you wanna check out the first video and maybe subscribe to see the other board reviews coming I’d appreciate it!

@BGinGA : Dear backgammon teacher: what size/type of dice (e.g., 5/8") and doubling cube (e.g., 7/8") do you recommend buying from GammonVillage for a set exactly like this one? Asking for a friend who needs to get replacements that will "fit" the set and cups properly. I'll have them next week if measurements are needed.

Does anyone have experience with the Backgammon Galaxy boards? I see a lightly used Void board for sale in my area for $600, which is significantly below the ~$1,000 or so that they sell retail, but not sure if it’s all that much better than a 21” Wycliffe Brothers board.
