Heritage craft

Eleven boards, one game

A backgammon board is furniture for the mind — you'll stare at it for hours, so it should be worth staring at. Every theme below is shown in its exact in-game palette: the same hex values the app paints, from Safavid lapis to tournament felt. Six ship free with every account; five premium boards come with Pro or à la carte.

Made with cultural care

The three heritage boards are built from their source traditions, not from stock “exotic” palettes: Persian Miniature draws on Safavid-period Tabriz manuscript painting — deep lapis lazuli, aged ivory, restrained gold; Turkish Mosaic on Iznik ceramics — cobalt, turquoise, coral on white; and Greek Café on the whitewash-and-shutter-blue of the island kafeneio. Each went through cultural review before shipping. They pair naturally with the regional variants — takhteh nard on lapis, tavla on Iznik tile, tavli on Aegean timber.

Every theme ships in light and dark renditions, follows your device setting, and keeps full board readability — point contrast and checker legibility are checked per palette, not eyeballed.

Premium boards (Persian Miniature, Turkish Mosaic, Greek Café $3.99 · Neon $1.99 · Marble $4.99) can be bought outright, earned with coins, or unlocked all at once with Boardgammon Pro.
