MANOPOULOS - CHESS & BACKGAMMON COMBO GAME

HANDCRAFTED IN GREECE
Manopoulos has made games in Greece since 1970 — from Costas Manopoulos’s first bronze chess pieces to today’s workshop in Thebes, where every board is still cut, veneered and finished by hand. This piece comes to Canada exclusively through El Laguito Cigars.

THE DESIGN
Two games in one wooden case: a chessboard on the outside, a backgammon field on the inside, with wooden chessmen and checkers stored within. In a classic walnut replica case, olive burl, modern black or the turquoise edition — 27 cm, or 41 cm with 7.6 cm chessmen.
