Super stylish whether you're great, terrible, or just okay at Backgammon

I have the Cassio A/B (orange/blue-green), Quantum B (pale blue), and Aurora A (purple) in addition to the White & Black Monte Carlo Checkers which came with my board. I intend to get the Andromeda A/B (pink/light brown) and Andromeda Mag-Fit Inlays next. The checkers are fine quality and I like both the matte feel of them and the sounds they make when playing. I ordered the blue checkers on Dec 30 and they arrived Jan 2 (from Istanbul to Phoenix) which blew me away!

Of the 90 Backgammon Galaxy checkers I own, 1 checker has a small (<1/4 circumference) rough section on the circumference edge and some checkers have a few little "pinholes". Those minor imperfections may bother some buyers at this price point, but I find the imperfections negligible and some enhance the look of the checker (I could subtract 1 star for the imperfection on the circumference of the 1 purple checker, but I suspect the Galaxy Store would send a replacement if I were bothered by it so keeping 5 stars).

I originally assumed these were made by creating a single tube of material then cutting them to size, but now I think they're poured into individual molds based on the patterns seen on the opposing faces of each checker (for example: on my purple checkers one side of each checker is "swirly" while the other is more "burly" (similar to burlwood) which is really cool. I'm curious to know how they're made for sure.

My favorite color combos so far are the Cassio A & B Checkers with Cassio Mag-Fit inlays and the Quantum B & Aurora A with Void Mag-Fit inlays all on the Monte Carlo Board. The same checkers can look wildly different under different lighting (bright white vs. soft white lighting) too which adds extra fun to trying out new combos.

I would love it if these checkers and the Mag-Fit inlays were made for the Adventure+ board size someday.

Customer Support from Backgammon Galaxy Store has been great with all my purchases.

I store extra checkers in the Checker Safe Box from CustomBackgammon dot com. https://custombackgammon.com/product/checkers-safe-box/
