For those who live life on the go—whether hopping between luxury hotels, sailing across turquoise waters, or unwinding in a private villa—certain traditions never go out of style. Among them, the timeless appeal of a well-played game of backgammon. In 2025, the modern jet-setter isn’t just traveling; they’re curating experiences, and what better way to do so than with a beautifully crafted, portable backgammon set?
Why Backgammon is the Ultimate Travel Companion
Unlike bulky board games or fleeting digital entertainment, backgammon offers an elegant, tactile experience that fits seamlessly into any traveler’s lifestyle. A game that dates back over 5,000 years, it remains a favorite among tastemakers who appreciate both skill and social engagement. Whether enjoyed over a poolside aperitivo in St. Barth or during a quiet evening at a countryside retreat, backgammon invites a moment of connection in an otherwise fast-paced world.
Designed for Luxury, Made for Travel
At Throwing Doubles, we craft each backgammon board in Los Angeles using the finest European and Italian leathers. Designed with portability in mind, our boards roll up effortlessly, making them the perfect companion for long-haul flights, private yacht charters, or a weekend escape to the Amalfi Coast. More than just a game, these bespoke sets embody the intersection of heritage craftsmanship and modern travel essentials.
A Social Catalyst in Exclusive Destinations
Luxury travel is as much about the people you meet as the places you go. A backgammon set isn’t just a game; it’s an invitation. A way to spark conversation at the Rosewood Mayakoba lounge, to engage with fellow travelers at Gstaad’s winter retreats, or to create a memorable moment at an oceanfront resort in Bali. The board itself becomes part of the journey—collecting stories, memories, and the occasional lucky roll of the dice.
Customize Your Game, Curate Your Lifestyle
For those who seek exclusivity, personalization is key. Our custom backgammon boards offer bespoke branding, initials, or logos, making them ideal for boutique hotels, private members’ clubs, and discerning individuals who want a set as unique as their travels. Whether as a luxury corporate gift, a wedding favor for a destination celebration, or simply a refined addition to your personal collection, these boards redefine the concept of a “travel essential.”
Take the Game With You
In 2025, luxury is about intentionality—the art of choosing items that elevate an experience, that feel timeless yet personal. A well-crafted travel backgammon board is more than just a pastime; it’s a reflection of a lifestyle. Wherever the journey takes you, the game is always in motion.
