Georgians have carried that image since the Middle Ages, and on this handmade Georgian backgammon set it gets what it deserves — a full board of hand-carved wood, all movement, spear and horse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is a reason the oldest national emblems are duels — and a reason the world's oldest board games are too. Nardi is single combat with dice, which makes the saint and the dragon the most honest referees a wooden backgammon board could have. Open the bronze clasps, set the full 23.6\" \/ 60 cm field, and let the better lance win.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBackgammon board with bronze hinges and clasps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e32 checkers made from beech and walnut wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDice and a carrying bag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFolded: 11.8 x 23.6\" \/ 30 x 60 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpen playing field: 23.6 x 23.6\" \/ 60 x 60 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 11 lb \/ 5 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: solid beech wood with bronze hinges and clasps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEntirely handmade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy it stands out\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA mounted saint is the carver's full exam — rider, horse, lance and dragon in one composition, every element in motion.
