Check Out These Checkers and Backgammon Sets

The game of backgammon is one of the oldest on Earth, dating back thousands of years to the first civilizations on the planet.

The rules are simple but the strategy is complex and both young and old players can enjoy the game. Combination boards allow multiple games to be played together.

Checkers and backgammon boards combine both the dice game with the classic match of advancing your pieces on a checkers set. Indeed, a combination board allows you to play both backgammon and checkers along with chess, the greatest game of skill and strategy.
These combination boards can be found at any game store or many retail outlets.
Specific designs have many qualities and capabilities that cannot be found elsewhere.

A basic backgammon or checkerboard cost approximately ten to twenty dollars and includes the rules and pieces required to play both games.

These sets are the basic requirements needed to play on a table with friends, but it is not always so easy to break out the game.

Indeed, during a car ride or a windy day outdoors, it may be difficult to decide where a piece that has fallen off the board should be set.

With this problem, the solution is a magnetic chess, checkers or backgammon board, allowing each piece of all three games to be firmly planted upon the board, resisting all efforts to be toppled over.
The entire face of the board is magnetized and each piece has a small insert of metal, so that they hold firm without being too difficult to dislodge, even for younger hands. A magnetic set only costs a little more than the normal boards.

Some are in the range of around fifteen dollars, which is a very reasonable price.
Some game boards expand beyond the basic rules and capabilities.
The best example of rejuvenated classic games is Chess 4, a board with double the spaces, double the pieces, and double the available players.

This adaptation turns the game from a two player duel into a free for all, pitting classic black and white against newcomer's gold and silver.

Flip the board over and play four-player backgammon, moving all your pieces across the board before your opponents.
A checkers and backgammon set is an easy and inexpensive way to bring your friends or family together for game night. Check out local stores for combination sets and get ready to face off on any number of battlefronts.
