Hello. Can You check: 2p bb from KG can be used with Crisloid board?
@@MihMih-p8c it can
Avoid Katgammon - they expect the customer to pay for return postage when damaged items have been shipped. Use a reputable supplier.
Thanks for your review. I recently bought the Wycliffe Brothers 21" board and it comes with a set of 1 3/4" acrylic pieces that have finger bowls. I find that they slide extremely easily over the board making movement and setting up nothing but a pleasure
Dude, I'm so glad you filmed this! I took some pictures but didn't know there was a recording until just now. This is one of my favorite backgammon memories. My very first ABT event, I leave the playing room for a few minutes, and come back to find Mochy and Rory getting ready to play this match of "nuclear gammon" on my board. MCG and Steve Sax played one right after. Lightning fast. No idea how any of them can process what's happening at this speed, but it was a ton of fun to watch.
I like your backgammon bostd, whis one is it if you don't mind me asking?
@@morriahmcdonald4040 my "bostd"?
@vinr6867 what kind of board is that ? Just curious.
@@morriahmcdonald4040 it's an FM board, Mete edition.
I recently bought a Crisloid Board championship size. Good workmanship and the board is light. The cork surface takes some getting used to though at least for me. Have you ever reviewed a P-40 board?
@mikewilcox4346 not reviewed but played on a few, not a fan. The clanky noise and the loud cups are very unappealing to me. Checkers chip after some use.
Thanks.... I know which baffle box to get now :)
Katgammon 2-piece baffle is best there is. No need for any imitators, especially cheap and crappy ones 😂
It's not your board, you are vague about the cubes, vague about the dice. This is NOT a review it's an OPINION.
I have a Gamao board and it is top of the line. My favorite to play on. For all we know this board was abused and treated poorly.
what kind of board is that ?
FM Mete board. Removable surface.
Awesome
I bought one without knowing or searching for a review - Mine is completely black, really cheap material and indeed really loud - in addition, some magnets were not glued properly and got out of their sockets so I needed to glue them back...really noisy but good looking I must say and also I had no problem playing on it (played like 7 point games last time on it without dice blocked or jumping out, so the design is good, but the material lacks quality)
5:30 How the heck did you get doubles five times in a row?! Can you teach me?😂
Lol didn't realize, but I do tend to roll a lot of doubles!
I was about to buy one, but the sound in the videos from the Istavder Tournament was too annoying and "cheap". Thanks for the video 👍
Good to see you posting reviews again! I got the Backgammon Learning Centre baffle box based on one of your previous reviews and have been very happy with it. However, I think there's gap in the market for a premium baffle box made with better quality materials. I'm sure it will happen. I recently purchased one of the new ZMF clocks featured in the Chicago Open, which provide a solution for doubling cube placement for those of us who prefer to use a baffle box.
Nice to have you back! Love your content!
Thank you
Hi did you test P-40 scrambler?
Yes, the sound is great. Why is that important , I don't know but it is.
Unscrew , a little wood glue, a toothpick, let it dry then rescrew it
Surely they would send you another handle
People pay extra for a reliced guitar!
Скажите пажалуйста какая точная толщина в мм этих шашек с размером 44,5 мм. Спасибо.
10mm
They are not 44,5mm but usualy around 43mm

Fmgammon board are the king
What are the dimensions of the 23 inch board?
Hi! If you're a fan of true crime documentaries, I recommend watching the latest high-quality true crime documentary video I recently shared. Your comments mean a lot to me, so please share your thoughts. Take care of your health, and I hope you take the time to come and show your support. Thank you in advance, buddy!
$400 seems crazy to me.
"Promo SM" 🔥
I enjoy your content. You mentioned that you wouldn't pay $5000 for a Geoffrey Parker but I'm guessing your board collection exceeds that value. Do you prefer having a selection of different boards or would you exchange them for a GP?
Thank you! Good point, I would rather have a selection of boards rather than a Jeffrey Parker, sometimes I want to hear the sound of wood and other times I want a quiet board. I also like using different colored checkers and sometimes if playing outdoors I want a board that is easy to clean or one that I don't mind getting dirty. Sometimes if I am on a losing streak I like to change boards.
Thinking about the Backgammon learning center baffle box. I wonder if it would be worth it to unscrew and remove all the rods and add heat shrink tubing to each.
I've thought about doing that, but not sure if it would not strip the threads.
If they were all like the ones on black's 5 point in the close up view, it'd probably be okay. I think a big part of the problem is the variation between the checkers: it almost looks like playing with four different colors. You can tell them apart if you think about it, but that's the thing. You want it to be instantly obvious and not something you have to think about.
katgammon R2 and the backgammon learning center, can they travel in a closed board?
Both can, since they are two pieces. I don't because they may damage the inside of the board as it moves around inside.
TY best regards from Paris France@@vinr6867
I really liked your review. I would like to buy a baffle box and following your review I am hesitating between the Backgammon learning center and the katgammon R2. Which one is the strongest and who rolls the dice the best, Thank you in advance for your response and congratulations for your videos.
The one fron Backgammon Learning Center is definitely the strongest, but also a bit louder than the R2. On occasion you may get some dice jump out from the R2, this never happens with the Learning Center one unless someone throws the dice violently into it. Another thing to keep in mind is the base of the baffles, some bases fit better depending on the board, the Lesrning Center one has a flat base. I have since gotten 2 more baffles and will do an updated review soon.
thank you very much for all this valuable information. Should I wait for your next review before purchasing? @@vinr6867
You need to do the Backgammon Galaxy one that is supposedly "silent" with non-acrylic material
Can't be too silent, most Galaxy boards have wooden frames. Quietest board are Gammoner and FTH due to the merino wool and leather (gammoner) frame.
@@vinr6867 They’re referring to the Folding Dice Tower that BGG makes. Have you tried it? Could you include it in a future video?
@@GumbyTheGreen1 ahh, I have seen those, they are quiet, but the way they fold makes them get bent out of shape, they lose their structural integrity.
@@vinr6867 The page for the product seems to say that they fixed that issue this year: “3rd Gen Edition Improvements (2023 Release)… The 3rd generation dice tower improves the folding mechanism so that the tower can’t buckle and maintains a robust shape. It also improves the friction of the ramps. Is it perfected? Yes, it's perfected!” Are you up for giving it a shot?
gorgeous board materials and color scheme. Nice one
love your videos Vin! Thanks a lot for putting this out.
Onde encontra isso no Brasil gente?
Someone from our club is Brazilian and she had it shipped from Brazil.
@@vinr6867 ask him from where, I can’t find it
I can see his balls through his pants
Now that you have had this board for awhile, what do you think? Specifically, how is it holding up, any further thoughts on the nickel plated checkers vs acrylic, any 'wish they had done this' items? I'm in the process of ordering a tournament board/set and torn between this one from Wycliff Bros and the Crisloid Tournament attache. What has me going back and forth are the checkers? Nickel plated Vs Acrylic. Any thoughts would be appreciated . Thanks
I ended up selling this board to a person in our club. The person who bought it ended up buying acrylic checkers from GammonVillage because the nickel plated checkers are cumbersome to handle and don't slide as well as the acrylic ones. Definitely get the acrylic checkers! The board is holding up well, just don't leave it inside your car on a hot day. I also sold the Crisloid Attache board, the cork tends to chip with little use. Also the color on the points tends to scratch very easily as well.
@@vinr6867 Thanks, this gives me some additional data points to consider. Thanks again.
Gammoner also give an extra 16th checker with their boards
Does Casa de Gamão have an official website?
I was fortunate enough to be able to afford either, and after reading all reviews I ordered a Gammoner. The shorter reach, slightly thicker surface, lighter weight being made of reral leathher convinced me to go with the Gammoner. Both look great, and I am sure either would be fantastic. My Gammoner is due in a couple of weeks. You do have to wait about 8 monthhs.
It will be worth the wait. I agree the shorter length does make a difference. It will last you a lifetime.
Need to hear sound. Need to see the bounce
Your loose screws, just insert a piece of toothpick in the screw holes before putting the screws again. Tight and right!!!!
great review. I wish I had seen it 4 years ago.
After 61P-54S-64 the correct move is 24/20 13/7 rather than 24/14.
I can't say anything about the Gammoner boards. Don't own one nor have I played on one. However I do own an FTH board. Mine is custom made. I requested the field and points color be as close to the Neptune color combination as possible. I have a set of Bakelite checkers that I sent in to have the board built around the checkers. My checkers are in a 3X5 layout. Just like the Crisloid boards have. Personally with the price that I spent on a custom board. I would recommend FTH over Gammoner. My FTH custom board has been posted on Facebook. You will know it when you see it. Red and Butterscotch Bakelite checkers on a Neptune color scheme. Its an amazing look. Has that 8 Ball UK pool look to it. Huge thumbs 👍 for FTH.
Hi, i am Fazil, builder of FTH Boards :-) i can make boards with size between 52 cm and 64 cm. ;-). I make my playing fields from high-quality merino wool felt. The more often you play with this playingfield , the better the playingfield becomes. If it fluffs, simply shave it off with a beard razor and vacuum it up. Greetings from Germany
You make fantasric boards Fazil! I emailed you about making a smaller board for 37mm bakelite checkers, John Pirner emailed me a price of $800, but I told him i didnt need cups. Never heard from him again.
@@vinr6867 Hi, if you want, email me again, i can see, what i can do for you 🙂
Doesn’t seem enjoyable at the speed. Especially for $100.
