Features
Leather backgammon sets are perfect for travel. The sets roll up into a cylinder with a leather strap and buckle that are removable during play. A round leather case comes attached to the side where the accompanying dice and counters are stowed when not in use.
Flat-board-style leather backgammon sets are handcrafted with quality leather that covers a wooden framed box. Stones, four dice, two leather cups and a doubling cube are included in the set that comes in a felt bag. The leather is dyed in vibrant colors and features more than 50 separate inlaid pieces of leather that are perfectly placed on the board.
Benefits
A travel set is a great way to entertain with during time away from home. The soft leather set closes up to 12.5 inches high and 2.5 inches around for ease in packing.
Board-style leather sets come in an 18-inch attache leather case with a leather interior and handle. The dice cups are leather and the playing field is made from faux suede. Attache latches are solid brass with convenient side storage for checkers that can be used during play time or for travel storage purposes.
Identification
Leather used in the crafting of these sets is smooth English bridle leather, mock croc calf leather or pebble leather that has a texture to it. A well-made leather board has leather points stitched in place with contrast stitching along the sides.
Considerations
For traveling, the roll-up leather set is the best option where packing and carrying is concerned. Since the set is easily stored, it can be used on planes, in autos, on trains or anywhere you go. The leather is easy to care for and can be wiped clean with a damp cloth or leather cleaner. The dice and counters also can be cleaned with a damp cloth.
Warning
Do not use harsh chemicals to clean leather. It will cause discoloration and injury to the material used.
