Melissa & Doug Double-Sided Wooden Backgammon & Checkers Board Game (33 Game Pieces, 17.5” W x 17.5” L x 1.5” D)

It’s twice the fun with this double-sided wooden game board that also doubles as unique room decor! With two strategy games that are easy to learn but offer a lifetime of fun, this is a great set for beginners and experienced players alike. There’s a bright and vibrant white-framed backgammon board on one side and a checkerboard on the other, both in a modern orange, yellow, blue, and green design for a fresh, eye-catching look. Use the hanging hardware to display the 17.5-inch by 17.5-inch board. Thirty blue and green wooden game pieces and three included dice (two traditional and one doubling die) store in the tie-top storage bag. Detailed game instructions are included.

Pediatricians recommend toys that encourage interaction and rich language experiences. Playing games such as backgammon and checkers fosters memory retention, critical thinking, and social skills. This game makes a great gift for 6-year-olds to 12-year-olds, and teens and grown-ups of all ages will also love playing it. Add Melissa & Doug Tic-Stac-Toe to round out the game play experience and give kids another engaging option for screen-free fun.
