Travel in Style: The Best Portable Backgammon for Yachts & Jets (2026)

Playing backgammon on a red roll-up travel set

When you are traveling light—whether it's a weekend in the Hamptons or a flight to Dubai—you shouldn't have to sacrifice quality for portability. Most "travel sets" are tiny, magnetic plastic toys.

Enter the Baco™ Travel Roll. It’s the first travel set that plays like a professional board.

Why It’s the Ultimate Travel Companion

  • 1. Full Size, Zero Bulk: It unrolls to a full 19-inch playing surface but rolls up into a compact cylinder that fits easily in a carry-on or beach bag.

  • 2. Poolside Ready (Waterproof): Real leather ruins instantly if splashed with pool water or a cocktail. Baco’s Premium Vegan Leather is 100% waterproof. Spill a drink? Just wipe it off.

  • 3. Quiet Play: The soft microfiber surface dampens the sound of dice, making it perfect for hotel lobbies or late-night flights where you don't want to disturb others.

Where Our Customers Take Their Boards

  • On the Yacht Deck: The non-slip surface keeps checkers steady even with gentle waves.

  • First Class Tray Table: Fits perfectly for a comfortable game at 30,000 feet.

  • Beach Club: Sand shakes right off.
