Overview
A double sided folding board carries checkers on one face and backgammon on the other, so one set of wooden pieces serves both games. Everything packs into a tray inside a linen wrapped book box.
Two classics and wooden pieces in one compact box make it a good shelf and travel set. The title says up to four players while the bullets say two, and both games are traditionally played head to head.
Who it's for
Pairs who like quick strategy games at home, in a cafe or on a trip suit this set. Bigger groups should choose a multiplayer game.

Performance notes
A single board flips between games, so setup takes moments. Wooden pieces have more heft than plastic and stay put on the board. Backgammon adds dice luck, while checkers rewards planning ahead.
