{"product_id":"wood-chess-backgammon-board-handmade-personalized","title":"Chess \u0026 Backgammon Set with All-Over Braid Carving, 40 cm","description":"\u003cp\u003eBraid carving covers the whole surface of this chess and backgammon set (nardi), a 40 cm (about 16 in) board cut from a single piece of beech. The braid is an interlaced band of strands passing over and under one another, one of the many forms found in Armenian ornament, a tradition rich in motifs, types and patterns.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe letters and numbers marking the chessboard are cast in bronze. Backgammon, among the oldest games on record by common consent, turns on logic as much as on the roll: a supple mind, exact reckoning of a sequence of moves and prompt decisions are what it rewards. Because both games share the board, nobody has to fetch a second set when the mood shifts from chess to backgammon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 40 x 40 x 3 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Beech wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesign: All-over braid carving\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Varnished\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardware: Cast bronze hinges and locks; cast bronze letters and numbers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 3 kg (4 kg packed)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: Hrachya Ohanyan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: 31210\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat's included\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e32 chess pieces and 32 backgammon checkers in beech and walnut wood, each with a velvet-lined base\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDice made from billiard balls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBranded carry case with wooden handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery set is completely handcrafted and comes with a 25-year guarantee certificate.
