Wooden Travel Backgammon Game Sets

Many stores offer backgammon game sets that you can buy.

The GameCorner

The GameCorner.com offers a six-inch wood travel backgammon set. The game folds closed and has a metal closure to keep the pieces secure. There is also a ten-inch version of the game as well, but it’s not as small for traveling. The smaller game is thicker, however, so take that into consideration depending on how you plan to store the game. The ten-inch version is slightly more than double the price.

Wood Expressions

The wooden travel backgammon game offered by Wood Expressions is similar to the ones from GameCorner. The smallest size, however, is ten inches in width. The game comes with wood chips and the colored dice match the colors of the wood. It is very classy looking with darker wood dominating the outside, along with two lighter color stripes on the outside. Inside the game, there is three shades of brown along with shades of black. Green felt lines each side where the chips and dice are stored.

Abundant Board Games

Abundant Board Games has what may be the top of the line wooden travel set. The game is made of fine sheesham wood and has an elegant colored wood, not too dark and not too light. Instead of a clasp closing, it is held shut with a magnet. This allows for easier opening and closing, but you do have the risk of it opening by itself during travel. The board is ten inches wide, so it’s a little larger than some travel sets. The dice match the set in light beige and brown instead of all white. The chips are brown and black, and there is a felt area on either side of the board that holds the chips.

Abundant Board Games also offers some larger-sized wooden backgammon sets. These are not as travel friendly, but you might consider them anyway. If you are travelling by car instead of plane, the extra size of these sets may not even be an issue. These sets are also quite elegant and would make fine stay-at-home sets as well.

  • 15 inch set made of Camphor wood. The entire set is wood except for the metal handle. The inside of the board is wood and includes wooden dice and chips and two wooden cups. View the game here.
  • 19 inch Beechwood set. Give yourself plenty of room to play with this large board. Like the 15” set, it is made entirely of wood inside and out. View the game here.

East Wind Games

East Wind Games offers travel sets that are similar to the offers of the stores above.

  • Six inch travel set. The case is made of sheesham and whitewood. The game closes with a clasp and includes wooden dice and chips. View the game here.
  • 15 inch Camphor wood. This larger-sized case isn’t as convenient for travel, but it does allow you far more room to play compared to the six-inch sized games. Since it is larger, the game includes two wooden dice cups that fit inside the case when it is closed. View the game here.

Conclusion

Wooden backgammon sets come in a variety of sizes for your convenience. With the elegant wood, you don’t have to play on a poorly-constructed board when you are away from home.
