Backgammon Chips
The pieces that are used to move around on the
backgammon board are called backgammon chips. Depending on what
quality of game you have purchased the chips can be made of many
different materials. The lesser expensive games, where you use
cardboard boards that fold up when you done, normally come with
backgammon chips made of thin plastic. These kinds of chips are just
fine for beginners. This is not necessarily the case when you buy
the more expensive backgammon boards. If you decide that this is the
direction you want to go, buying a table top board or a rollup one,
then you will see that the quality of the chips improves with the
quality of the board.
What happens if you have had your backgammon set for a number of
years and the backgammon chips begin to crack or wear? Even good
quality chips can be dropped or even lost. You can't play your game
without the correct number backgammon chips and no game ever seems
to come with extra pieces. Fortunately there are many places that
you can buy replacement ones. I would not count on being able to buy
the same ones as you have used for years with your prized set but
nonetheless there will certainly be ones that will catch your eye
and make for good replacements.
You can buy these replacement backgammon chips at any store that
sells games or online. They are sold in several different ways. You
can buy a set, which means backgammon chips for both sides made of
high quality polished plastic or you can buy them made out of wood.
They are available in just about any color you could possibly
choose. Some come in sets that are sold as is. While others are sets
where you can choose which two colors you want the pieces to be made
of. The average price for a set of chips ranges from twenty to
thirty five dollars depending on what you choose. The wooden ones
are more expensive. If you are buying form an online store don't
forget there will be postage charges as well.
