My unboxing and review of a ‘mystery’ board from FMGammon, sent to me for my birthday, and as a Thank You from Fuat Erdağ, FM’s creative guru, for the previous videos I’ve previously posted of my other FM boards. [www.fmgammon.com]
This board is composed of painted beechwood, and is essentially the same dimensions as my FM 'Hamdi' board, which I reviewed some months ago (see link below). The big difference with this board are the interchangeable playing surfaces, which come in two striking and unique shades of purple and white, with matching purple and white checkers, both with lovely marbling. Another upgrade from the 'Hamdi' board is that the exterior cover is genuine leather, and the carry bag is also a very nice leather.
I am super impressed with the way that FMGammon has adapted these changeable playing surfaces to their new board designs! It allows for creativity and variety to the customer, and likely increases the variety of checkers that people, including myself, will purchase.
This tournament-size board will impress your backgammon friends, and would be welcome at ANY tournament or chouette. Plus, the board comes with a scoreboard, and a score pad, along with the magnet to pull out the surfaces, for easy changes to the overall look of the board. Kudos to FM for being on the cutting edge of the backgammon board market right now.
A special THANK YOU to Fuat, Mete, Onur and everyone at FMGammon for your generosity! I couldn't ask for a more unique and special birthday gift, along with acknowledgment of my efforts to share my passion for backgammon and hand-crafted backgammon boards with the rest of the world. I hope to visit Istanbul soon and play in the FMGammon/Istavder Tavla Anniversary Tournament!
