This Wenge-coloured backgammon set in laminated wood offers quality materials and a timeless classic design, at an attractive price.
The playing surface is printed (not inlaid) and features a central diamond pattern, with beautifully contrasting mahogany and oak points.
Included with the game board: a set of 30 plastic checkers (15 brown and 15 white), four dice (14 mm) and 2 dice cups.
The Wenge Backgammon is handmade and available in three sizes (see drop-down menu).
A beautiful chess set rests on a simple balance: pieces well proportioned to the size of the squares. To choose a harmonious board, the most reliable guide is the diameter of the king's base.
Key guideline: ideally, the king's base takes up about 75% of the square.
| King height | King base diameter | Square size |
|---|---|---|
| 7,3 à 7,6 cm | 3,8 cm | 4,7 à 5,1 cm |

| 10,1 cm | 4,1 à 4,7 cm | 6 cm |

| 12,7 cm et plus | 4,4 cm | 6,3 à 7 cm |
| King base diameter | Square size |
|---|---|
| 2 à 2,4 cm | 2,8 à 3,5 cm |
| 2,5 à 2,9 cm | 3,5 à 4 cm |
| 3 à 3,4 cm | 4,3 à 5 cm |
| 3,5 à 3,9 cm | 4,8 à 6,2 cm |
| 4 à 4,5 cm | 6 à 8 cm |
A board that is too small can hamper moves and make the set look cluttered. À l’inverse, a board that is too large can break the harmony of the whole. The right size brings both playing comfort and elegance.
