Mount Ararat, after which the model is named, is its motif, and carved letters and numbers label the chessboard.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eArmenia’s coat of arms carries Ararat too: its central shield shows the mountain with Noah’s Ark. Of the two games, backgammon, generally considered one of the oldest of all, is the one with dice, yet it remains a game of logic that rewards quick, flexible thinking and good judgement about which checker to move next. Its medium size keeps the set practical for everyday play at home.\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: Mount Ararat motif\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Varnished\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardware: Cast bronze hinges and locks; carved 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: 31252\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\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eHandcrafted from start to finish, each set is backed by a 25-year guarantee certificate.
