Designed to travel.
PRIME combines the presence of a luxury backgammon board with the practicality of a serious tournament set.
The solid-walnut board opens to reveal a deep green playing field with orange and tobacco-white points, paired with substantial black and white resin checkers. A bespoke removable accessory tray keeps the complete ensemble organized, while separate walnut checker trays make setup and travel effortless.
Every detail has been considered for real play: precision dice, doubling cube, dice cups, the walnut baffle box, convenient drawstring checker pouches, and a rugged messenger-style carry bag designed to take the complete set wherever the next match happens.
This is not a precious object destined for a display cabinet. PRIME is portable luxury—designed to be used hard, travelled with, and enjoyed for years.
