Crazy Games Backgammon Set - Classic Medium Brown 15 Inch Backgammon Sets for Adults Board Game with Premium Leather Case - Best Strategy & Tip Guide (Brown, Medium)
<p>BACKGAMMON SETS FOR ADULTS Crazy Games Backgammon Set is one of the oldest known board games. Its history can be traced back nearly 5,000 years to archaeological discoveries in Mesopotamia according to some very smart people. It is a two-player game where each player has fifteen pieces (checkers for men) that move between twenty-four triangles (points) according to the roll of two dice. The objective of the game is to be first to bear off, i.e. move all fifteen checkers off the board. Backgammon is a member of the tables family, one of the oldest classes of board games. Backgammon involves a combination of strategy and luck (from rolling dice). While the dice may determine the outcome of a single game, the better player will accumulate the better record over a series of many games. With each roll of the dice, players must choose from numerous options for moving their checkers and anticipate possible counter-moves by the opponent. The optional use of a doubling cube allows players to raise the stakes during the game. SET UP Each side of the board has a track of 12 long triangles, called points. The points form a continuous track in the shape of a horseshoe, and are numbered from 1 to 24. In the most commonly used setup, each player begins with fifteen chips, two are placed on their 24-point, three on their 8-point, and five each on their 13-point and their 6-point. The two players move their chips in opposing directions, from the 24-point towards the 1-point. Points 1 through 6 are called the home board or inner board, and points 7 through 12 are called the outer board. The 7-point is referred to as the bar point, and the 13-point as the midpoint. Usually the 5-point for each player is called the "golden point".</p>

Arrived very quickly even through the Christmas rush. This is a hard review to write, because my issue is not with the product or the seller. My issue is with the description and listing of the product, and the reason it was returned. I already have one that's a larger size, I was giving this one as a gift. The issue is with the product description, and the ordering process. there is no tab to choose the size of the item that you want. the description states that it comes in three sizes but when it's time to check out it does not allow you to pick the size that you want. I just ordered one item and thought, I'll figure it out when it gets here. Unfortunately I did have to return it because I wanted the larger one, but like I said it did not give you an option to click on the size that you want. So, you basically have to roll the dice. I don't know if the issue has been fixed or not, but if you are ordering this item measure everything out if you can, otherwise you are going to receive the medium sized/ middle product shown in the photos. You will have a chance to pick the color scheme you want, but not the size. and I feel like the size of the item is very important. I hope they fix this glitch.
