All of the various Zaza & Sacci backgammon checkers sets are exquisitely beautiful, featuring deeply saturated colors and lustrous finishes. These specific checkers have one additional, unique feature -- namely, their added weight. As I understand it, each individual checker was sawed horizontally, a weighted lozenge was then inserted between the two pieces (comparable to the creme filling of an Oreo cookie), and the ensemble was then glued together and re-polished to smooth the edges. The resultant checkers have great "heft" and board-presence. They work quite well with Hector Saxe and Freistadtler sets.
Made in Italy, these flawless one-of-a-kind highly-polished and weighted backgammon checkers are made from strong acrylic material with beautiful pearlized design. The stones are perfectly smooth on both sides.
These are the first ever weighted checkers made anywhere in the world. Each checker is manufactured with a weight hidden inside the checker. So while the weight might be invisible, the sensation of holding and playing with a weighted checker is truly striking.
The checker diameter is 1 3/4 inch, they are 3/8 inch thick and weigh a hefty 30 grams each.
Add a bit of style to your set with these limited edition vibrant amber backgammon stones.
