I finally got around to watching your latest backgammon set review. Nice colors and can't go wrong with a Wycliffe Bros. board. However it's beyond my preferred size for a tournament board. 19-21 inches is the sweet spot for me with checkers ranging between 40 to 45 mm. I personally would likely pass on purchasing one of these 24 inch boards. I can see the appeal for a huge chunky set like this for some players though. As always I love your reviews.
As a collector myself, really appreciate the quality of your videos. I disagree with your comment about the "loose cups" - I have a couple of Wycliffe boards plus others that have "5 across" storage racks that include space for the dice cups. Personally I find that the additional width required makes for a disporportionate storage area - I prefer the more compact design. If "loose cups" really are an issue, then simply put them inside a drawstring bag. Gammon Village, if you're reading comments, this would make a nice "marketing feature" to have printed bags. 🙂
Thank you for the shout out Jordan. The Wycliffe Brothers provide an outstanding value. They are very high quality with competitive pricing. Multiple players at our club have one and they love it.
Play your doubles slowly, one at a time. For example, with those double 5's, your first five was to hit on the 18 point. After that you certainly don't want to slot your five with him having a man on the bar.

Thanks for watching Chris! Appreciate you stopping by.
They are awesome sets and I love my 24" black field. Great review and thanks for highlighting this incredible set.

Great idea on the bag! I really like that. Thanks for watching!
Gammon Village has great boards for all budgets. Even the cheapest board is a class above all competition.
Agreed! Love their products.
Thanks for another great video!
Well thanks for stopping by and watching!
I got the same in blue-red-white
Love that color scheme! Used to have the same.
Very nice review!!
2” checkers just have a special feel. Edit 50mm😉
Thanks for watching!

No doubt!
Thanks a lot for the review. Have you come across Detroit Chouette boards? Curious how they compare to other tournament boards?
I haven’t! I’ll have to see if I can get my hands on one.
