Review: Roll Up Leather Backgammon Set (Melia Games) – English

Do you like to play the classic game Backgammon in style? For example, on a desert island, just like Locke from the television series Lost (a reference for the boomers among us) – then Melia’s leather and roll-up Backgammon set is perfect for you.

Most of Melia’s products share the same principles: a zippered leather pouch allows you to safely store the various pieces. Sometimes you have to puzzle with the space to accommodate all the playing pieces, but this makes for a compact storage system. Attached to the pouch is a leather and roll-up play board or mat – kind of like a flap. You can roll this flap around the pouch and use two leather straps with metal snaps to fasten the whole thing.

Because you can roll up the games, they are ideal for taking with you on (for example) vacation. You can put the games almost anywhere, allowing you to play a game of Backgammon in very unique locations.

Melia’s rollable Backgammon sets include not only the case for the playing pieces but also a rollable board. The roll-up Backgammon set also includes all the parts: pebbles, dice for both players and a die to keep track of the stakes. As for Melia’s Backgammon sets, again, there are different styles available. There are even very colorful sets available alongside more traditional and conservative color schemes.

In Backgammon, you try to get all your stones back to their homes. Each turn you roll the two dice and use them to move your stones around the board. You can stack pieces and capture other player’s lone pieces. Captured pieces must first be returned to the board. Once all your pieces are back in the home board, you can Piet your pieces home. Backgammon is a simple game that relies largely on luck, but its various elements make it a lot more tactical than, say, a game of Humans Don’t Worry. Backgammon is immensely popular even after all these years, and for the enthusiast, a leather set completes their love.

With Melia’s roll-up Backgammon set, the quality of the leather gives you a set for the rest of your life that you will want to take with you wherever you go.
