Making Backgammon Tuxedo Worthy

Backgammon Galaxy is renowned for its modern designs. However, we aim to reintroduce tuxedo-worthy backgammon sets reminiscent of those from the 1970s!

During that era, backgammon was associated with high rollers, gambling, elegance, and class.

Honoring Paul "X-22" Magriel

The X-22 color style references the backgammon legend Paul Magriel's famous book titled "Backgammon" with our Backgammon Galaxy tweaks added.

The moniker "X-22" that is eternally attached to Magriel refers to his attempt at uncovering the most effective playstyle for backgammon. He did his research by listing many fictional players all playing distinct ways and naming them X-1, X-2 etc. Magriel discovered the player with the number X-22 was the winner of this test and the name forever stuck to him.

What comes with the set

  • Backgammon board with "X-22" styled removable playing surfaces
  • Doubling cube
  • 2 precision dice pairs
  • Two dice cups
  • "X-22" styled checker set
  • Matching tote bag
Measurements

The Monte Carlo board boasts player-oriented dimensions, accommodating large checkers without making the playing surface too cumbersome to view. This feature is particularly important for players looking to maximize their performance and minimize errors.

These dimensions are consistent across our Earth, Void, and Monte Carlo boards.

Awesome Players’ Board

I love my new Monte Carlo - X-22. The size and narrow proportions limit the field of view in a good way. It is easier to identify positions/patterns with the reduced playing field while still using 1.75” checkers.
The surface and solid wood sound when the dice hit the board are spot on. The thick checkers are a delight to touch and move. My dice roller fits nicely on the board and even the small cups handle large dice well. Very special and worth the wait.
Your immediate personal and cordial communication was very much appreciated. Thanks Sevil!!

A few nits but not enough to take any stars away:
The hinge loops are not perfectly straight and mar the beautiful board display. I’ve played on boards with much nicer hinges.
The hardware also could be better and the color is annoyingly bright and shiny. A more subdued treatment would look so much better. Perhaps brass.
The board is very heavy but I guess that is the price to pay for the solid wood and heavy checkers.

Overall I love the board and highly recommend it.

Hands down the most beautiful board I've seen. The small wooden felt lined cups are a great surprise. Checkers are weighted great and not too slick. The color of the wood is much darker in person and looks even better than the photos. Recommended.
