The Story Begins in the Mountains of Armenia
In a small woodworking studio tucked away in the hills of Dilijan, the rhythmic tap-tap of a chisel echoes through the room. Master craftsman Arman, whose family has been carving wood for three generations, runs his fingers over a smooth slab of walnut. The scent of fresh-cut timber fills the air as he begins shaping what will become a stunning Armenian backgammon set.
For Arman, this isn’t just a board—it’s a bridge between past and present. Each curve, each etching, carries the spirit of Armenia: the rugged mountains, the ancient churches, the stories whispered in village courtyards.
This is the essence of an Armenian backgammon set—and this is why people from around the world search for it.
More Than a Game: A Piece of Culture
Armenian backgammon, or "nardi," has been played for centuries. It’s a game of strategy, patience, and celebration. Families gather around beautifully carved boards not only to play—but to connect. The boards themselves are works of art, often adorned with Armenian crosses, pomegranate motifs, or Mount Ararat.
When you buy an Armenian backgammon set, you’re not just buying a game—you’re holding a piece of culture shaped by time and soul.
