This would be quite hard to find in England!
Has anyone seen one for sale in HH? Has anyone got a set they no longer use maybe?

Re: Backgammon Set
At least one of the moderators on here should have one, and although maybe not for sale, perhaps an opportunity for people to get together for games?
Just a thought guys, as I remember having a similar problem with Scrabble until we got linked up with other expats for regular matches.

There are Backgammon Apps for iPad & Android. You can play against the computer or against a human opponent.

I saw some hand carved wooden ones at the night market a couple of years ago.
My brain is like an Internet browser; 12 tabs are open and 5 of them are not responding, there's a GIF playing in an endless loop,... and where is that annoying music coming from?

Re: Backgammon Set
Yes, those are the only kind I've seen available locally. Awful things if you're a regular or serious backgammon player - too small and very rattly (no felt lining)!hhfarang wrote:I saw some hand carved wooden ones at the night market a couple of years ago.
This is the way
Re: Backgammon Set
Thanks for all the replies - I will have a look around and advise if I have any success.
I can recommend GNU Backgammon which was a free d/load (Windows 8.1) for solo play. I would like a real set to practice situations on - much easier than editing on-screen.
I would be interested in talking about the game (and get some tips to make me worth actually playing)!

Re: Backgammon Set
I have a briefcase set of Backgammon. Bought a very long time ago when I used to play a lot. Used it in HH when there was a Backgammon club which has long gone. Full set with doubling dice etc, felt interior leather outside and all what you'd expect. Not sure I want to part with it........ give me a day to think about it.
Re: Backgammon Set
Look on Aliexpress there are many sets for sale and free shipping to Thailand, it does take a week or 2 for it to get here
Re: Backgammon Set
Update: My search has ended...
Found a suitable set today in the Basement in Market vilage. About 24cms square, folding, magnetic. No complaints with a price tage of B265.
Also picked up a Go set with similar design feature (B285) - I always was a glutton for punishment!
P.S. Thanks for your reply HHTel- I've just saved your a decision...

Re: Backgammon Set
Thanks for that Chazz. I think I'd have decided to keep it anyway.
