ID FT-29526

Handmade in Greece from solid wood, this Manopoulos Championship Edition Backgammon Set features a foam-backed playing surface, upgraded hinges and clasps, and 45mm precision-moulded acrylic checkers for tournament play. Redesigned for 2026, the solid-wood construction reduces weight compared with previous generations while retaining strength and stability, while the additional foam layer creates a softer, quieter playing surface. Produced in a limited edition of just 128 boards for the WBGF World Championships 2026, the full tournament-sized board provides a generous playing area for competitive games at home, in clubs or at tournaments, with a protective canvas carrying bag included for easier transport and storage. Add a personalised engraved brass plaque to the exterior of the case with a name, date or special message for a distinctive finishing touch.

MANOPOULOS BRAND HERITAGE

Still proudly family-run and now led by the second generation, Georgia Manopoulou, Manopoulos carries forward a passion for beautiful games and the craftsmanship behind them. Traditional marquetry techniques bring character and artistry to its boards, with carefully considered materials and intricate detailing transforming each set into something to be enjoyed as much for its design as for the game itself.

That passion extends far beyond the workshop. Manopoulos has become closely affiliated with the international backgammon community, sponsoring the World Backgammon Championships in Greece in 2025 and London in 2026. It’s a relationship that reflects the brand’s enduring love of the game, bringing together generations of craftsmanship with the players who continue to shape its future.
