Father's Day Backgammon Gifts

Today Father's Day is celebrated in dozens of countries across the continent, including the United Kingdom. While for others may celebrate the day playing golf with the male who taught them how to tie a double windsor, we look for the latest trends in backgammon boards' design. That is because despite the essential changes father figures have gone through the last decades, excessively luxurious backgammon sets still top the Father's Day gifts as they probably did 30 years ago.

So, what are the latest trends in backgammon boards design?

Not much actually, Thrillist.com recommend on a pear-tree inlays-creamy vegetable-dyed calfskin backgammon set ($14,390.00 on Zontik games); Metro.co.uk believe that more and less thus suggest the 20 in 1 multigame table, a game table with 20 changeable tops ranging from backgammon and chess to table football, table tennis and the inevitable darts (£ 249at Debenhams), and GreenPacks offer eco-friendly solar garden lamps to illuminate breezy, outdoor late night backgammon games.

Craftier types make the backgammon boards by themselves, regardless to Father's Day, and sometimes without regard to the backgammon board original purpose, to serve as a playing surface for the dice and checkers. Some inspirational photos:

Father's Day facts and something to think about

In Germany, Father's Day is marked in a male-exclusive, alcohol-fuelled hiking tour while the people of Thailand give their male ancestor a canna flower, the symbol of masculinity. In the rest of the Father's Day celebrating world, people are shopping for ties and golf clubs as if it was Christmas time. Isn't a better way to honor Father's Day especially in times when the fatherhood institute might distinct and be replaced by anonymous sperm donors?
