I’ve been watching your videos and I think they are great. Question is why aren’t there any new videos coming out? Hope to see more . Cheers.

Great stuff, I love on-site tournament overviews and the production quality on this one is excellent. Thank you!

I was just curious if some people are particular about using their board vs yours or going a certain direction (clockwise , counter clockwise). Did that ever come up and do you just have to work it out or maybe roll for it? I know I would feel more comfortable playing on my big board that I am used to. I hope to do a tournament next year.

Which color do you like better? Can't decide!!

Silverman 19” in Dark Brown with Orange/White pips is my first BG board. It’s been 3 years and the felt still looks BRAND NEW inside (I dust it once a week and play on it 15+ hours a week) The checkers are DURABLE but will get scuffed a bit. It’s the same stone used in bowling balls so it’s only cosmetic, you can’t feel the wear on them. Just tiny paint scratches that only show under the light. The latches could be better (loose security from missing bits that might fall out) and the leatherette case is easily damaged, but aside from this, I love the board like a man loves his car. Highly recommended.

I'm from Madison as well. That's why you guys are so friendly. Wisconsinites are extremely friendly.

@0:50 did James & his girlfriend tell you the funny story that happened when we played in Madison?

Playing backgammon in Monte Carlo would be insane :)

Thats a beautiful board!!!!!! Excellent choice in color. As I type this comment ive never played backgammon until earlier tonight when I figured that I would try to play an online game and I won twice.

I wished you lived by me, been playing about a year. But yet to play vs a actual human.

You both represent to me what Backgammon can offer to players. Chances to have a good time and chances to feel its cruelty. I discovered your channel by chance, I have ordered your orange board as my 62 present. Waiting for to arrive to Barcelona, Spain Best wishes

This game is crazy i use to play this all the time was some what good. Then i became a chess player. Though i do miss this game

Miss your content

Please give us another video.😢

Marcy was great

ZMF-II is pretty much my favourite as well.

Get to the point

Thanks for the review! What size is this? Tournamnet size?

Love this video!

Can't re-like a video

Hello, thanks for the tutorial video, please introduce me to a backgammon analysis software for Android phone.

You make insanely great content please don’t quit making content,I believe that the algorithm will eventually bless you lol. Especially with this professional level of video making skills, genuinely underrated

Where can I get this board?

5:29 hmm what exactly is wrong with this move? It leaves a window there, but is that really worse than the possibility of being hit in this case?

I have yet to see anyone talk about the Crisloid "Champion" backgammon boards. They are medium in size, and reasonable-medium in price (cheaper than any of the crisloids you have talked about I believe, but more expensive than the budget boards you talk about here) and boy do they look good in the photos! Do you have one of those?

Dude with the gunmen shirt on looks like he needs to pee bad.

I never liked the look of a orange Crisloid until NOW. That checker combination is sweet

Nice! I like that last one. I'm waiting for an antique board (15 inch, Lowe) with a cork surface. Hoping it's not garbage :D

Great video. Friendly guy, too

In part you two have inspired me to study the game more seriously and to go to the Madison tournament. I had entered in the novice division next month. Played backgammon with a friend today and we are interested in getting a local club going as well. As you say a good way to build some social connections as well as having some fun. I plan to bring water and snacks to eat while playing for sure.

Love this channel. You have a long way to go. But F...... love it. ❤

I bought 140 board as well I have not played in a few years.

Just found your channel and being a fellow Wisconsinite Im obliged to sub. Was about to ask if you ever checked out the Milwaukee club until I saw you in a picture on their Facebook 😅

Does the leap fit inside a board?

I live in the Quad City area (Davenport, IA, Moline IL) and we have no club here. I am wondering how the Madison club got started? The club in Madison and Peoria, Il are the closest to me. I have relatives in Madison and I may've to come up and play with the club like you did just to have the experience. I am entering the Madison tournament as a novice just to experience that as well. Your videos have helped to push me into studying the game more. Thanks for doing them.

UPDATE: I followed up with Crisloid via email and they responded right away that sometimes custom checkers take a little longer. Only two days after this original post we have our board and we are supper happy with it. It was worth the slight extra wait. We’ve had a less timely and less communicative interaction with Crisloid. We’ve been waiting almost three weeks now with no word on when the board has even shipped. I had to reach out to them to make sure they got the payment after almost a week. They are responsive to email communication when you’re designing your board but once you put the order in our experience is that they are less communicative once they have the payment. At this point we have no idea when we’ll receive our board.

Great video as usual!

Another great video! For the price, the quality assurance needs to be better (though props on BG for good customer service).

@blunderblots Hey i played this game on App and it's very addictive. Now i want to buy my first board, but i can't chose between the 16 inch and 19 inch models. Mainly i want to use at home, but sometimes if i go to my friends or i go to holiday i want the perfect size board. I don't want two boards, just one. Can you help me make a decision? What do you suggest?

Another great video, Jason! You really manage to capture the magic of Backgammon. Looking forward to your next one. Cheers for now...

Hope you know how much your videos are appreciated! I’ve watched on and off since your first video and now as I get back into backgammon again I absolutely love the way you film and edit, your passion for learning the game, and how you share the game with your significant other. Please keep this up!

Thanks for this; I just bought a leap clock and this helped very much. Happy rolling!

Well, I am learning like you and your videos are well done in terms of content and technically. I am currently going through Marc Olen’s book How to Not Suck at Backgammon. I live in the Quad City area and there is not backgammon club here. There is one in Madison, WI and in Peoria, Il. I am working on getting my wife to play as I would rather play in person than online, but may have to go online to get more playing in. I am wondering about getting a club together. Any recommendations on that?

Amazing quality of your videos. Thank you!

This is a Crisloid board correct? Tournament or Champion size? The tournament size looks large to me and would prefer something a wee bit smaller. How does the travel size work for you? That seems to be a bit small (I Saw your videos on that),

Game of luck not like chess for legends sorry facts🙂

Congratulations on a great RUclips channel, the best Backgammon channel by a country mile. Refreshing to see you & your good lady having so much fun playing & filming Backgammon. Keep up the good work, and Thank You.

Wow, what a cool board! And you’re so lucky to have played with so many great players that I’ve NEVER played against: Nick Blazier, David Todd, Ben Friesen, your wife (😂). Great stuff, thanks for your ongoing series of videos!

Fun video to watch. Congratulations on the baby

Awesome job Jason. Enjoyed rooming with you for the week and looking forward to seeing you again in Chicago
