Did you get bit by the Backgammon bug after playing online? The best remedy for it is to get a real, three dimensional Backgammon set. Luckily, all you need to know are a few simple facts I have coined as the “A B C of Backgammon sets”. This A B C is quite simple: have your needs in mind, know your budget and do some research.

First, try to determine what your reasons for buying a set are. Knowing how much you are planning on playing and where is a great way of knowing how specialized or fancy a set you should get. Are you a social player? Do you seldom play at the park during hot summer afternoons? Are you a game board collector? Do you dream of becoming the next Bill Robertie? Once you know the answer to this, you can probably estimate how much you are willing to invest in this project.

Second, set yourself a budget that will keep you grounded on how much you want to spend on your Backgammon set. As with any other thing in life you want to make sure you do not end up throwing your bucks away.

Third and last, shop around for the best deal. Look around on the Web for quotes on Backgammon set prices to see where you are standing. Compare prices, sets, and quality and consult online casino game forums and online poker blogs. See if there is a better option for the same price, or some sale items. This may sound stingy if what you are planning on buying is a standard plywood case-like set, but if you are looking a bit higher it will well worth your while to do your homework.

Simple as 1, 2, 3, this was the A, B, C of Backgammon sets.
