This is my Crisloid Magnetic Travel Backgammon - Road Trip travel set.
When I bought this set I looked far and wide on RU-vid and the internet for others that had this board so I can have a better understanding of how the set looked and sounded but the only one (At the time of this upload) was from Blunder Blots.
I decided to record myself showing this board without my voice so others can see and hear what it sounds like up close, which was important for me when I was in the market for a backgammon board.
Things to note about this set that was not said in the video:
-The travel set showed in the BlunderBlots RU-vid channel and on the Crisloid website shows their non-precision white and blue dice. The description of the product said it would include precision dice and these were the dice I got (Which is not pictured or shown anywhere else).
-Although this set is advertised as magnetic enough to stop the checkers from shifting if moved, the checkers do not stay in place when closing the board. I saw on the BlunderBlots video comment section that others had the same issue and had the expectation(Like I did) that the checkers would stay in place when closed. However, this only happens when it is at a complete 90 degree angle; during play these checkers stay in place very well and I have no fear of them shifting out of place during play.
-The material on the outside of the board is a rough, dry and slightly scratchy material (But does not leave scratch marks)
-I do notice that in the edges of the board, there are indents in the frame that can be seen by shadows (Which I think is shown in this video briefly) both on the outside and inside of the frames. It does not feel damaged and looks to be part of the frame process?
-In specific angles, some checkers on the top of them have a circular mark on them which is not caused by the magnetism. I am not sure what these marks are and can be seen clearly in the video. Only a few checkers have these circular marks but they are noticeable in specific light angles.
Overall I love this board and good quality build for the convenient travel size. I hope to play this board on this channel in the future and showcase it more for others that are in the market for this specific set.
