Description
I love playing Backgammon, but a traditional board needs a flat, level surface and it doesn't take much of a knock to mess up the board during play. One solution is a magnetic set, but I seem to spend more time unsticking the counters from one another than I do playing! Surely there's a better way?! There is - a simple, slotted board.
This item consists of a 384mm x 326mm [15.1" x 12.8"] backgammon board, with slots to contain the counters in play. This item breaks down into four, interlocking pieces to enhance its portability. For other options please see:
- The 'table' version (full-sized board, but in a single piece)
- The 'travel' version (full-sized board, but in two, interlocking pieces)
- The 'micro' version (half-sized board, in four, interlocking pieces)
The material options, below, all use 3mm [1/8"] -thick acrylic plastic, but I'd be happy to supply this design in any of the materials, plastic or wood, that Ponoko offers (see the Ponoko Materials Catalog). Please contact me for a quote if you'd like to use an alternative material or thickness.
If you order a 'plus counters' option you'll get 16 red and 16 black counters, made from 3mm [1/8"] acrylic. If you'd like to source your own counters (instead of buying them from me), you'll need to find some that are less than 19mm [¾"] in diameter to fit in the slots.
Please note that you will need to source your own doubling cube and dice.

If the options below are too restrictive for you what you've got in mind and I'll see what I can come up with (it's one major advantage of going with a laser-cut solution!)
