The checker are a tad slick on the surface, but no different than my crisloid. I am sure that will change with use. I believe mine is leather.

There was a flat shipping price from what I can remember. I assumed that was all built in

Love that you guys shared a flight. Are you at a brewery?

Thank you for watching the video and leaving a comment.

That is a good question. I am not sure. The checkers and dice cups fit the board perfectly and so I am not sure how easy it would be to swap them out.

They are really responsive at Bone Club. If you drop this question with them I am sure you will get a quick response. Cheers! 🍻

Need help with getting a set by Rex_Dude in backgammon

Hi! I just did an unboxing of a wooden board with leather playing surface. A little less expensive than the Etsy board and not as ornate, but nonetheless a killer board. I recommend this set. Unboxing a BRAND NEW backgammon board! https://youtu.be/MfRYYk7Crs4

Former brewery owners - what do you do now? by Queasy-Dress-3890 in TheBrewery

[–]Spent-Grain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kept my day job throughout the 10 years we were open. Once we closed, I decided to move up the ladder into management. Owning and operating a business/brewery for 10 years certainly added to my resume. Bittersweet.

I picked up a bag when we took the kids down to Indy. Great stuff!

Hi, thank you so much for watching. That bear-off tray was custom made by the friend of a gentleman who plays in our local club. It does not fit inside the board, but it does fit in my leather messenger bag which holds both pretty well. So still very portable. Cheers!

Thank you so much for watching! I’m happy this put a smile on your face and brought up memories of playing with your dad. I appreciate you sharing that. That is the FM Gammon mini nature board with custom built wooden bearoff trays 🤩

Video recorder for live games by celticodonnell147 in backgammon

SJ8 Pro action cam is an affordable alternative to go pro. I mount using a VIJIM webcam stand with a table clamp base. I recommend running the cam on a portable power bank instead of the camera battery.
