THE BACKGAMMON, A THOUSAND-YEAR-OLD GAME OF CHANCE

Mesopotamia, Egypt, Persia or India? The origins of this game may be mysterious, but it is as popular as ever. Backgammon is a game of luck and strategy for two players, requiring each to roll a pair of dice to move their stones (or checkers) around a board according to a set of rules. The object is to get all the checkers in one place and then remove them from the board. The first to ‘bear out’ all of their checkers wins.
 

Backgammon is a footrace, a delicate balance between risk-taking and caution. The double preoccupation of advancing one’s checkers as quickly as possible, while slowing down the opponent’s progress, brings to the game this richness of attitudes and techniques, allowing intrepid players, as well as the cautious or calculating sort, to express themselves and take great pleasure in it.

THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT THIS PRECIOUS OBJECT IS AN EXCEPTIONAL GIFT, ONE TO BE PASSED DOWN TO FUTURE GENERATIONS.

























BLACK DIAMONDS AND BLUE SAPPHIRES

The brand’s signature is in the detail: the checkers are set with black diamonds or blue sapphires along their periphery, as are the 24 points (the wedges) on the board. The dice cup, entirely finished in anthracite leather, bears the S by Salanitro logo; finally, the doubling cube is set with 137 black diamonds that make up the numbers on each side of the dice.
