1975 Backgammon Selchow and Righter. Games is complete and in very good condition. Instructions are on the box cover. Box shows a little wear.
This 1975 edition of Backgammon by Selchow & Righter captures the sophisticated, earth-toned aesthetic of the mid-1970s tabletop gaming scene. Selchow & Righter, a name synonymous with American board game history, produced this set with a focus on tactile quality, featuring a board with a handsome textured finish and sturdy, interlocking chips. A unique design feature of this specific edition is the placement of the instructions and rules directly on the interior of the box lid, ensuring the tactical secrets of this ancient game of strategy are never lost.
With its deep chocolate and cream palette, this set is a perfect stylistic match for a Dark Academia study or a library filled with mid-century modern furniture. It serves as an intellectual focal point when left open on a low table or tucked neatly into a shelf of vintage reference books. The game is entirely complete and remains in very good condition, with all thirty men, the doubling cube, and four dice present. While the box exhibits some light, honest wear consistent with its age, it has protected the components beautifully for over fifty years. This set represents a moment when backgammon saw a massive resurgence in popular culture, making it a wonderful find for both serious players and collectors of 1970s leisure artifacts.
This item is vintage, over 50 years old.
