This is a lovely set to play on. My wife loves the quality and colour scheme of tan with green centre board.

Please let me start out by first addressing the critical reviews here which complain about the fact that this set is made with faux leather, lower-grade hardware, less precise stitching, cheaper plastic checkers, etc.... If you expect real leather, heavy high-quality checkers, precision dice, and an overall "luxury" backgammon board for under $150, then you, my friend, are delusional! Despite the product listing title that is - like a lot of products on Amazon - jammed full of buzzwords designed to grab your attention and sell things to you, this is NOT a "premium" backgammon set. Real "premium" or "luxury" backgammon sets (from brands like FTH, Crisloid, Zaza & Sacci, P-40, Hector Saxe, etc.) run in the range of many hundreds to *thousands* of dollars. That being said, this is still an excellent entry-level, budget-friendly, and attractive tournament-sized board that can serve quite nicely for casual games, local club play, family time, and even beginner or intermediate-level tournament play. Yes, the "leather" is PU faux stuff, but that means that you won't need to worry so much about possible spills or stains when you bring it along to your monthly local club meetup at the bar down the street. Yes, the checkers are made of lightweight, cheaper acrylic compared to the high-end stuff, but they still look really cool, and you won't need to worry about your kids carelessly chucking them around as you attempt to teach them how to play. No, the dice aren't "precision," but that honestly doesn't really make a real mathematical difference anyway in the long run, so unless you're playing in a tournament with strict rules about 'em, who cares? :P The playing surface of this board looks and feels quite nice, and while the checkers don't slide on it quite like air hockey pucks, they still slide easily enough for a satisfying sense of movement. The points are even and symmetrical, and I really like the deep green color of the field. The doubling cube, dice, and checkers all have a cool "marble-ish" appearance to them which I enjoy, and while I typically prefer cylindrical dice cups, the oval-style cups included with this board still work just fine. The overall size, weight, design, and price are all great for the type of board that you can grab on a whim to take along to the picnic, to your casual club nights, or to a family get-together, or just a few feet over to the coffee table, without nearly as much concern about "protecting your premium investment" or whatever that you might have with a more expensive board. I happen to own a much more expensive, larger, heavier "premium" tournament board that I absolutely love to play on, but there are lots of times when I'd prefer to just "go casual" with it and not have to worry so much about potential damage to my high-end board. This Pointworks board is a terrific option for that, while also still being plenty good enough to bump it up to "business casual" for lower-level tournies and such if need be. I imagine that it should last a good long time as well, as long as it's not treated roughly. All in all, I'm honestly impressed with it for the price! My one criticism of this set is an admittedly nitpicky gripe about the included rules pamphlet. It does present the basic rules of backgammon in a fairly concise and straightforward way, albeit with poor punctuation and grammar in spots (probably translation errors), but for as long as I've been playing the game, and in as many books as I've read and videos I've watched, NO ONE refers to the triangles on the board as "pips." They are called "points." The term "pips" refers to either the value of your dice roll, or the number of moves that your checkers need to travel in order to bear off from the board. Think of it like walking along a path of stepping stones. The pips are like the number of steps that you take along the path, while the points are like the stones on which you're walking. You don't refer to the stones themselves as "steps," and similarly, you don't refer to the points as "pips." Each player starts the game with a "pip count" of 167, meaning that each player's 15 checkers need to move a cumulative total of 167 pips, or individual steps, for all of them to be borne off. Rolling a 5-3, for example, would allow you to move one or two checkers a total of 8 pips, taking your pip count down to 159, and so on throughout the game (hence why the pip count is handy for keeping track of who's "winning the race").
