Frequently asked questions

Every board is handcrafted by Hrachya Ohanyan, a master woodcarver based in Yerevan, Armenia. With decades of experience, he carves each piece entirely by hand — no machines, no shortcuts. His work is collected by backgammon enthusiasts across Europe, the USA, and the Middle East.

Each board is rooted in Armenian visual culture — Mount Ararat silhouettes, ancient Khachkar cross-stone patterns, pomegranate motifs, and Armenian alphabet engravings. These are not generic designs with an Armenian label. They are the result of Hrachya's deep connection to his heritage, carved into every millimeter.

Hrachya works primarily with solid walnut, beech, and oak — dense hardwoods that age beautifully and handle decades of real play. The playing surface is smooth and true. Hinges, clasps, and felt lining are all hand-selected for durability and feel.

Built for real play. The points are precision-routed, checkers roll true, and the board folds flat for storage. Many customers use these boards daily for years. The beauty is in the craft — but this is a fully functional game set first.

Every Armenian backgammon set ships worldwide directly from Yerevan, Armenia. EU and US orders typically arrive in 7-14 business days. Express options are available at checkout. All orders include tracking and are carefully packed to protect the woodwork during transit.

Absolutely. Each set ships in presentation packaging — ideal for birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, or corporate gifts. We can include a handwritten note on request. A hand-carved Armenian backgammon board is the kind of gift that gets remembered for decades.

Wipe with a soft dry cloth after use. Apply a thin coat of natural wood oil every few months to keep the finish rich and the wood protected. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or high humidity. Treated right, one of these boards will outlast you.

Yes. Because each board is hand-carved by Hrachya Ohanyan, no two are identical. Grain patterns, depth of carving, and natural wood color vary from piece to piece. What you receive is a singular object — not a factory copy, not a print-on-demand design. That is the whole point.
