Looking for a way to enjoy your favorite game on the road? Then you need to buy a leather backgammon travel set. Once you do, you can play backgammon wherever you happen to be. You can also teach new friends you meet along the way how to play backgammon.

A leather backgammon travel set comprises of a board, two dice and 30 checkers. If you want to gamble on backgammon, you will need to purchase a doubling cube separately. While prices vary, you can generally find an affordable set if you're prepared to choose a basic design. You can also shop around online to find deals on second hand and barely used backgammon sets, which are perfect for the new player or for someone that simply wants a spare set.

When choosing your leather backgammon travel set, make sure you check for the following. Firstly, try rolling your dice across the board. Do they rotate well? Do they make minimal noise and impact? If so, then your board will give you hours of backgammon fun. You also need to check that your set contains precision dice. These are made of transparent plastic with the pips inlaid beneath the surface. Because these dice are virtually tamper-proof, they are the world's leading backgammon dice and many players will not enter a game without them.

Once you have your leather backgammon travel set, you're ready to take your backgammon game out on the road. So say goodbye to those dull and tedious long haul flights or train journeys. Even your average commute to work is about to get more lively!
