A family’s craftsmanship.
Not a printed board: our backgammon sets are handmade in Greece by the Manopoulos family, who have been making them since 1970. Real wood, hand-laid marquetry, 3-year guarantee.
01
A family business
A shop in Athens in 1970, a workshop in 1975, the factory in Thebes in 2000. Their backgammon sets are now sold in more than 25 countries.
02
One-of-a-kind wood
The burl and the grain of the wood shape each board. No two backgammon sets of the same model are ever quite identical.
03
A well-built case
Metal hinges and clasp: the board closes like a briefcase and is easy to carry.
04
Ready to play
Checkers, dice and dice cups are included. Open the case and the game can begin.

Guaranteed for 3 years
A broken piece or a manufacturing defect? We will replace it.
