Entertainment

Close those pesky apps always draining your battery, put down your smartphone and opt for a convenient roll-up travel game like checkers, chess or backgammon next time you are traveling and need some form of entertainment to keep you occupied.

 

Sondergut makes it easy to play classic games on the go with lightweight travel boards that users can roll up and take anywhere.

 

The travel game for chess and checkers as well as the roll-up board for backgammon are less than a foot long and weigh less than half a pound, making them easy to travel with and carry. Users can play on a plane, in a car, on a road trip, outside at a picnic, by the campfire or even on a tiny table at a coffee shop.

 

 

The board’s playing surface features a suede-backed design with a soft leather as well as zipper storage surface built in on the edge. The zipper safely stores the included stones, dice, doubling cube for backgammon players and iconic tokens for the chess set. When users want to play checkers, they can simply flip the chess pieces.

 

Sondergut products start from $39.95 for roll-up travel games including backgammon and chess/checkers.
