One of the first things to consider when buying a backgammon set is the size, according to the game-store owners and backgammon-set manufacturers we spoke to. “At the end, they are all the same - meaning you can play on them, but some you might want to leave out on your coffee table or in your game room as a showpiece.” “There are backgammon sets you can find in Sears or Target that are low end and then there are sets on Madison Avenue or Rodeo Drive that are made of the most expensive leathers,” says Tommy Kunu, president of Bello Games. We can see why: The classic game doesn’t require much setup, often comes in a case that is easy to take anywhere (including the beach, as one toy-store owner told us), and is available at every price point.
