Product information "Backgammon Art of Backgammon Mirror Dark Blue"
A move somewhere between midnight blue and copper
Open the cover, pick up the dice and suddenly the coffee table has become rather more interesting. PRINTWORKS Art of Backgammon Mirror in dark blue and copper translates the classic board game into an unusually graphic palette. A deep blue frame surrounds the mirrored playing surface, where elongated points in turquoise and dark blue meet the warm copper tone beneath. Turquoise and dark blue counters and black dice complete the game, while integrated compartments along the sides keep its accessories close at hand. Closed, this PRINTWORKS Backgammon looks more like an oversized design book than a conventional board game, which is very much part of its appeal. Measuring 30.8 × 22 × 4.5 cm and weighing 0.95 kg, it can sit comfortably on a coffee table, shelf or sideboard and has no particular reason to be hidden away. Made from paperboard and acrylic, the combination of dark blue, copper and contrasting shades of blue gives the set a warm, contemporary presence even when nobody is playing.
The dice do not get all the credit
Backgammon is one of those games whose basic idea is easy to understand, yet whose tactical possibilities keep revealing themselves. Two players move their counters around the board according to the numbers rolled on the dice, with the aim of bearing off all their pieces before their opponent. Along the way, exposed opposing counters can be hit, positions protected and routes blocked. The first player to remove all of their counters wins. Chance certainly has a seat at the table, but a lucky roll is no substitute for a clever move. That balance makes backgammon wonderfully sociable: it works for a relaxed afternoon game as naturally as it does for a long evening with friends, and requests for a rematch tend to arrive rather quickly. Art of Backgammon Mirror gives this familiar ritual a visual setting that makes sitting down for a game feel like a small occasion in itself.
A quiet counter-move to another swipe
PRINTWORKS was founded in Stockholm in 2017 by Annette and Patrik, inspired by a familiar shift in everyday life. As everything became faster and increasingly digital, time spent together seemed to be disappearing between screens, feeds and constant online noise. PRINTWORKS offers a deliberately analogue alternative: photo albums to flick through, cards to shuffle and board games to gather around. Crucially, these objects are designed to remain part of the home rather than being packed away as soon as they have served their purpose. Art of Backgammon Mirror from the Classic series captures that philosophy beautifully. Its book-like format, rich dark blue cover and graphic artwork turn the closed game into an interior object in its own right. At LIVOSY, the PRINTWORKS collection also includes chess, card and memory games, photo albums and The Essentials gift sets – analogue objects made to be used, shared and kept within reach.
Play or display? There is room for both.
Dark blue, turquoise and copper give this version a distinct personality. Against pale natural shades it becomes a confident colour accent, while dark timber, glass, metal and warmer accessories bring out its quieter, more graphic side. Its compact book format also makes it easy to arrange alongside PRINTWORKS photo albums and other games from the Classic collection. Add chess or a card game if you like having a few different classics ready for an evening with friends. As a gift, this PRINTWORKS Backgammon works just as well for an experienced player as for someone discovering the game for the first time and appreciating objects with a strong visual identity. And should the next match take a while to happen, the box has another useful talent: it looks exceptionally good simply sitting on the coffee table.
