The cathedral rises at the centre of this handmade Georgian backgammon set, hand-carved in relief — the stacked tiers, the tall gold-domed tower, the whole deliberate climb of it — with a cast bronze roundel set on either side and the field around it worked into fine cross-hatching so the metal is the only thing that shines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a building designed to be seen from a distance, and this board treats it the same way: the carving sits proud enough that you can read the silhouette from across a room. Then the clasps come open, the bronze hinges swing, and the full 23.6\" \/ 60 cm playing field arrives with rather different intentions — nardi is not a reverent game, and Tbilisi has never pretended otherwise. Carry this luxury backgammon set in by its cut-out handle and let the evening get loud under a very serious skyline.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBackgammon board with bronze hinges, clasps and a cut-out carry handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e32 checkers made from beech and walnut wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA pair of dice and a carrying bag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFolded: 30 x 60 cm \/ 11.8 x 23.6\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpen playing field: 60 x 60 cm \/ 23.6 x 23.6\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 5 kg \/ 11 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWood: solid beech, with bronze details, 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\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Sameba Cathedral carved by hand in relief, tier by tier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo cast bronze roundels flanking it on a hand-cut cross-hatched field\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFolds shut on bronze hinges and travels by its own cut-out carry handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA luxury Georgian backgammon board with the capital's tallest landmark on the lid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA Gift From Tbilisi\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the friend who took you there, the relative who never left, or the household that measures every skyline against that one hill.
