Try a leather Backgammon board

There are as many mediums that Backgammon boards can be made of as there are Backgammon boards on the market. Most of the boards today that are found in large retail stores are made of cheap plastics. While these are very durable and provide hours of game play, they lack the aesthetic quality that the higher end boards possess. One of the nicer mediums that some of the more expensive boards are made of is that of leather. A leather Backgammon board has a very unique feel and will last forever.

Just as there are different qualities of woods there are also different qualities of leather. Leather, in some places, isn’t very easy to come by either and this may present a challenge. However, there are many places online that sell quality leather in sufficient quantities to make a proper leather Backgammon board.

Another option if a Backgammon player chooses not to build their own board out of leather is to simply purchase a leather Backgammon board. There are several very reputable companies that currently sell leather boards and this is one option. Their prices vary but the quality of a good board is unparalleled.

A leather backgammon board holds a certain mystique and with proper care will literally continue looking brand new for many, many years. Even with age leather has the inexplicable capability of becoming more and more magnificent. Whether a player decides to purchase the leather and make their own, or simply purchase the board already completed; a leather Backgammon game board is an excellent choice.
