About this toy
Backgammon, called takhte-nard in Persian, has been played across Iran for centuries and is still a favourite in homes, tea houses and parks. This set is a full-size folding wooden board that opens to about 40 × 46 cm. The outer lid is painted by hand with a border of flowers and birds inspired by Persian miniature painting, so each board differs slightly. Inside, the points are painted in two warm colours on a natural wood background. The set includes 30 wooden checkers, two pairs of dice and two dice cups, and everything stores inside the closed board. Rules in English and Persian are included, so new players can learn the game with family.
