Delux Back gammon set at Lidl

iamlovejunkie

Lidl does it again! A 21 inch pro board for £10 quid! these sell for around £70 pounds in stores and on e bay... just bought 2 one black and one brown the brown is the nicer looking of the set though, grab it while you can! Its a great way to start an argument with your parntner after thrashing them 16 nil!
What do you mean lucky dice?????:D

Bought one of these a couple of weeks ago - it really is a very nice set and outrageously priced at only £10! There are instructions inside.

I'd been on the lookout for a cheap wooden one for ages - I love backgammon
I picked up one in ALDI a couple of weeks ago for £5 - it's wooden & unvarnished.
Bit rustic, but it was an absolute bargain; as the OP said wooden ones are pretty pricey usually.

Only available at selected stores it seems, not showing on the 'specials' on the website showing my local store. Shame!

If anyone , like me, wants to play backgammon but does not have a readily available partner, there is a really good computer version to download from here http://jelly.effect.no/. It's got various skill levels, a customiseable board, doubling cube etc... and its free!
I've been using this programme for a number of years now and I'm totally addicted.
I know there is an online version with WinXP but personally I find that frustratingly slow plus the fact that your opponent leaves the game if they're losing.
Try Jellyfish its good!;)

I like the sound of the board from Lidl, but another site for getting an excellent free program is http://www.gnubg.org/ or if you want to play online for free at a friendly turn based site try http://www.dailygammon.com/
