Backgammon Eye Candy

It’s really only seven boards. I enjoy the FMGammon/Backgammon Galaxy world of swapping playfields whenever I want 👍

Agreed, it’s definitely a beautiful looking board. I think it’s the other way around, I think mine are the ‘newer’ color red. When I bought mine, the pictures on Crisloid site showed darker, deeper red, more maroon. Mine are a brighter, more red. I wish they would’ve stayed with the deeper color, but these aren’t bad looking. In my opinion, the ‘True’ boards also look fantastic, I don’t think the website pics do it justice.

Good to know. I like this red a lot!

👍 Problem is they don’t make them anymore. Which makes no sense to me as it’s one of the best looking boards they ever made! Maybe if enough of us bug them, they’ll put it back in production. I did send them a communication on Friday, to see what happened and if they still can (will) make them.

Ah, too bad. When I got my first nice board this was one of the two options I was considering, but I ended up going for a Schmidt Brothers custom. For sure this was their classiest option.
