   trying to get back into building mode, i put together a game from my past. i don’t remember how to play it, despite the hours spent playing it while procrastinating during university. i’ll dig out the rules and try it out.
 
the case is double built, with a fairly stable hinge set-up, once again assisted by fellow lug member jason allemann, but the handle is less substantial. forsaking holding power for looks, it can be lifted by the handle for a brief second or two.
   
 

   the die are not lego-built, they are from the actual backgammon game i own, making the colour choices all too obvious. while only 15 stones are needed for each opponent, i included 16 of each because one is bound to lose a stone or two along the way.

the game is on! enjoy.

This is really well done! I enjoyed looking around the pics. I used to play backgammon as a compromise semi-skill (as opposed to pure luck) game with a friend. You've captured it really well, and ended up with a great Lego MOC! Great work and God (...) (16 years ago, 6-Oct-08, to lugnet.build, FTX)

(...) Other than the doubling die, you could use the dice from the Oriental Expidedition games, since they are officially Lego. (16 years ago, 7-Oct-08, to lugnet.build, FTX)

(...) Very cool. I love that it folds up into a case. -Jason (16 years ago, 7-Oct-08, to lugnet.build, FTX)
