About Bushveld Backgammon

Backgammon is an ancient game with origins dating back more than five millennia, with first mentions in the early scriptures of Mesopotamia and Persia. The game has stood the test of all times and is still a popular table game among the sophisticated and aristocracy of the world.  A game of luck and strategy played by the who’s who, and now you can own your own exclusive, exquisitely crafted board to pass down from generation to generation.

Bushveld Backgammon boards are handcrafted in the Bushveld region of South-Africa, from ancient Tambotie and Boekenhout trees. Tinus, Master Carpenter and renowned craftsman invests over 60 man hours into each board, making sure that it is precisely assembled and elegantly refined.

These boards are popular among sophisticated families, as heirlooms for the next generations, and exclusive gifts for special occasions.
