Read more Whether you enjoy a measured afternoon over a backgammon set, relish the strategy of a chess set or take satisfaction in testing your vocabulary over a game of Scrabble, Aspinal's luxury board games are crafted to be worthy of the occasion. Each designer board game is exquisitely handmade by our master craftsmen: more than fifty separate pieces of leather are inlaid by hand to produce the playing surface of each backgammon set, creating what is as much a work of art as it is a game. Our chess sets are based on the renowned Staunton design, with hand-carved boxwood chessmen, triple-weighted and felted, housed in a jewel calf leather tray. Our luxury games sets span everything from our hand-made Monopoly set - the Park Lane of its genre, with pewter tokens recessed in a jewel calf leather tray - to our vocabulary-expanding Scrabble edition and our beautifully presented playing card holders. Every piece arrives in Aspinal's signature packaging and can be personalised with initials for a luxury gift that carries a significance no ordinary game can replicate. A family heirloom as much as a source of pleasure, these are designer board games made to be passed through the generations. ... Read less
