Why Your Backgammon Pieces Matter?

The playing pieces — or checkers — are the most handled elements of any backgammon set. They are picked up, moved, stacked, and handled hundreds of times in every session — which means their weight, feel, size, and quality have a direct and significant impact on the playing experience. A set of premium backgammon pieces transforms every game, bringing a tactile satisfaction and visual pleasure that standard pieces simply cannot match.

Whether you are replacing worn or lost pieces from an existing set, upgrading to a higher quality checker to complement a premium board, or simply treating yourself to the best available, choosing the right backgammon pieces is one of the most rewarding investments a dedicated player can make.

Types of Backgammon Pieces at Chessgammon

Our backgammon pieces collection covers a wide range of materials, sizes, and finishes to suit every board and playing preference:

• Acrylic backgammon pieces — the most widely used and popular choice; smooth, consistent, and available in a full range of colours and sizes; durable, lightweight, and excellent value for everyday play
• Stone backgammon pieces — weighty, cool to the touch, and visually striking; stone checkers bring a luxurious feel to every game and look stunning on premium boards
• Wooden backgammon pieces — warm, natural, and beautifully finished; wooden checkers complement wooden Tavla boards perfectly and develop a rich character with use over time
• Resin backgammon pieces — a premium step up from acrylic; heavier, more finely finished, and with a more substantial feel in the hand; an excellent choice for players who want quality without the price tag of stone
• Leather backgammon pieces — a distinctive and luxurious option; leather-topped checkers bring a unique tactile quality to the game and suit premium leather boards beautifully
• Luxury backgammon pieces — the finest playing pieces available; crafted from premium materials including semi-precious stone, mother-of-pearl, and hand-finished resin; for collectors and enthusiasts who want the very best

What to Look for When Buying Backgammon Pieces?

Choosing the right backgammon pieces involves balancing several key factors:

Size is the most critical consideration. Backgammon pieces must fit comfortably within the points of your board — as a general rule, checkers should be no wider than the narrowest point of the board’s playing triangles. Most standard boards accommodate pieces between 30mm and 38mm in diameter, with 34mm being the most common tournament size.

Weight significantly affects the playing experience. Heavier pieces feel more authoritative and satisfying to handle, stack more stably during play, and are less likely to be accidentally knocked out of position during an intense game. If you have the choice, always opt for the heavier option.

Material determines both the look and feel of your pieces. Acrylic and resin offer durability and consistency; stone and wood offer natural beauty and weight; leather offers a unique tactile quality that no other material can replicate.

Colour should provide a clear contrast between the two sides for easy identification during play. Classic combinations include black and white, black and cream, and red and white — though our collection includes a wide range of colour options to suit every board and personal preference.

Replacing or Upgrading Your Backgammon Pieces

One of the most common reasons players come to Chessgammon for backgammon pieces is to replace lost or damaged checkers from an existing set. We stock a wide range of individual and complete replacement piece sets in all standard sizes and colours, making it easy to find the perfect match for your board.

Upgrading your pieces is equally popular — and the difference a set of premium checkers makes to an existing board can be remarkable. A mid-range Tavla board paired with a set of quality stone or resin pieces is transformed into a genuinely luxurious playing experience that rivals sets costing many times more.

Backgammon Pieces as Gifts

A set of premium backgammon pieces makes a wonderfully practical and thoughtful gift for any backgammon enthusiast. Whether complementing a set you have already given or providing a meaningful upgrade to an existing board, quality backgammon pieces from Chessgammon are a gift that will be immediately and enthusiastically put to use. Pair them with a premium doubling cube and dice cup for a complete and impressive accessory gift set.
