Balinese Backgammon Set

This is an absolutely beautiful Backgammon set. This set has to be seen to be belived! Check out the pics at the link provided below. The inlay on the boad, the carving on the wood is just outstanding. For just $79.95 it seems to be a steal. I love Backgammon and my buddy and me play all the time.

Ur

Ur is another ancient game that was dug up from the Mesopotamian city of Ur, hence the name. Its two games in one. A race game for children and a strategy game for adults. This game looks Beautiful. Even if it isnt played it would make a great artsy centerpiece for the coffetable. It can be had for $29.95. Well worth it just on looks alone. The reviews says its fun to play to boot. Ur is #5 on Funagaingames.com all time best seller list so it has to have something going for it.
