The Earth Board 2.0 Has Arrived!

  • Hinge moved to the outside for added simplicity
  • Box Joint for added robustness
  • Oakwood instead of Beechwood for added character

Backgammon Reinvented

The game of backgammon is perfect, but the boards are not. Every single tournament-sized backgammon board out there is an oversized and bulky suitcase that’s very difficult to carry around.

But not anymore. We have reinvented the board.

The Earth Board is perfect for any situation. It’s tournament-sized but in a space-efficient and streamlined package. Going to the cafe, local events, or traveling the world is now easier than ever, thanks to its main feature: the separate tray box. 

A separate tray box is a standalone unit that fits inside the board during transportation. When you’re ready to play, just take it out and place it on either side of the board. Or you can leave the tray at home and instead place everything in the small zipper carrying case that comes with the board to be even more lightweight.

This freedom allows you to focus 100% on your game.

If you could choose one backgammon board for a lifetime - The Earth Board is the one!

Same dimensions as our online board

Modeled from the board you know and love from our website, the “Earth Board” will surely impress your friends and opponents, whether you play at home or bring it with you to tournaments.

Travel made easy

One of the primary design specifications of the Earth Board was to solve the biggest problem of luxury backgammon boards: the ability to travel with them. Usually, the luxury boards are too big and clunky and a handle and locks.

We solved this problem with an innovative design idea by combining the two bear-off trays into one unique tray box that fits perfectly inside the board. Furthermore, the optimal playing dimensions of the interior also contribute to minimizing the exterior length of the board.

Improved lightweight version

Another upgrade since our Neptune board is the addition of a new travel-friendly bag for all the board components. You’ll now have the option of the elegant standard dice tray that you can carry inside the board as well as this lightweight bag. Zipping effortlessly around the world for backgammon tournaments is now one notch easier.

Separate tray box = Flexibility

The unique separate tray box gives you multiple options for setting up the board. Want to cut down size and weight even further? No problem! Simply pack the checkers, dice, dice cups, and cube into the custom-designed zipper bag inside the board and leave the tray box at home. Now you have the barebones setup which is both lightweight and takes up minimal space on the table!

The separate tray box will also help you when setting up your board in crowded venues. You can place the dice tray exactly where you want and leave you room to breathe.

Elevate the clock or scoreboard

Another handy feature is the ability to use one half of the tray box as a completely flat platform to elevate the game clock, dice tower, or scoreboard.

Perfect overview

Unlike many other boards, we have decided to minimize the distance between the opposite-facing 5-stacks. This means that you don't have to reach so far to move your checkers on your opponent's side of the board. 

And believe it or not, this compact approach also improves your general overview of the position of the checkers, as your eye travels less. These are the same dimensions as the online Galaxy board, and we believe these are the optimal dimensions for a backgammon board.

What comes with the set

  • Doubling cube

Premium Materials

Our skilled craftsmen have selected pristine materials for the board. The case and tray box are cut from a wonderful piece of oakwood, which goes perfectly with the green hues of the playing surface as well as the golden touches of the hinges and logo plate on the outside of the case.

The hefty yet elegant 44.2 mm marbled acrylic checkers presents a refined look. Sliding them smoothly across the felt offers the senses a delightful feeling.

Beautiful, hefty board

Delivery was issue-free, well-packed and easy to open the packaging (I think in the past people needed tools, but not now).
High quality materials--board, checkers, inlay, and two pairs of small precision dice included!
The board is heavy, even if the travel case is used instead of the wooden trays. The carrying bag is nice, but will test your arm muscles. I ended up buying a full-size backpack to transport the board and other backgammon accessories to our Hong Kong club once a week.
The use of magnets in the board is quite clever--they hold the wooden trays in place inside the board during transport, and keep the board closed. They're strong--in fact, in certain positions I find it difficult to simply open the board due to the magnet strength.
I've purchased a couple of extra inlays, and matching checker sets, and the variety of looks is great. Taking out the inlays and putting them in is still a bit fiddly but starting to get the hang of it.
The finger-bowl checkers appear to slide on the inlay surface more readily than the solid checkers that come with the X-22 set--not a problem, just a slightly different playing experience.
The dice cups are necessarily small to fit into the wooden trays, but different size dice fit fine--the only peculiarity is that they have an outsized lip to trip the dice, and sometimes the dice or a die actually get stuck there. This can occasionally result in a faulty throw of the dice. I'd recommend a tweak to reduce the size of the lip in the future.
Overall, a beautiful backgammon set that is a joy to play on, and the colours of the X-22 set really stand out and catch the eye.
