2-in-1 Silver Magnetic Chess & Backgammon Set in Travel Zipper Case*
Master the game of geniuses with our 2-in-1 Silver Magnetic Chess & Backgammon Set in Travel Zipper Case. Anywhere you go, you can practice the art of the ancient game of brilliant minds. This portable chess and backgammon set is housed in a compact travel case, 7.1 inches square and an inch thick, and comes complete with rectangular magnetic chess pieces, from the royal couple of king and queen, to the pawns. Each case fastens closed to ensure safe travel wherever the game takes you.
The two-in-one part is what makes it travel so well. One case covers the long strategic evening and the fast, lucky, argumentative game that follows it, so a single flat square in a carry-on, a glovebox or a backpack keeps two players busy across an airport delay, a cabin weekend or a hotel bar. The pieces are magnetic, so a knocked table or a bumpy flight does not end the match, and the zipper keeps everything where you left it between rounds.
Have the case engraved. The silver front takes up to two lines of your own words, engraved in-house by HansonEllis, which has been personalizing gifts since 1999: a name, a role, a date, or the private line that only the two of you who play will understand. That is the difference between a travel game and a gift someone keeps for thirty years.
Spend your free time learning strategic moves and beating ominous opponents with this classic set. Keep it with you wherever you go and you will be able to brush up on your skills in no time. The Magnetic Chess & Backgammon Set makes a wonderful gift for the budding chess player in your life.
You may be no Bobby Fischer, but you will certainly feel as smart as him when you play the game of the masters on this Magnetic Chess & Backgammon Set! This unique item makes a fantastic gift for that deep thinker in your life. If you remember spending your youth leaning over a chess board with a favorite uncle, grandparent or sibling, celebrate those times by giving that special someone their own engraved set, with the name of the person who taught them on the front.

Which one should I choose
In the travel game shelf the decision is usually between a set that plays two games and a single-game board, and between a zipped case and a rigid one.
| 2-in-1 Silver Magnetic Chess & Backgammon Set in Travel Zipper Case | Choose it when one flat 7.1 inch case should cover both the long strategic game and the fast one, with an engraved name on the front. |
|---|---|
| A single-game travel chess set | Choose that when the recipient only plays chess and wants nothing else in the bag; it does the one job and no more. |
| A full-size wooden chess board for the table | Choose that for a home that has room for it; it looks handsome on a sideboard but it will not go in a carry-on. |
For a gift that packs flat, survives the journey and carries a name, the 2-in-1 magnetic chess and backgammon set in its zipper case is the one to send.

Questions shoppers ask about the 2-in-1 Silver Magnetic Chess & Backgammon Set in Travel Zipper Case
How big is the 2-in-1 Silver Magnetic Chess & Backgammon Set?
The travel case measures 7.1"L x 7.1"W x 1"H, about the size of a small tablet and an inch thick, so it packs flat in a carry-on or a backpack.
Does it really play two games?
Yes. It is a 2-in-1 magnetic chess and backgammon set housed in one compact silver travel case, so two different games travel in a single flat square.
What are the playing pieces like?
Rectangular magnetic pieces, from the royal couple of king and queen to the pawns. Being magnetic, they hold to the board rather than sliding off when the table moves.
How does the case close?
Each case fastens closed with its zipper to ensure safe travel wherever the game takes you, keeping the pieces inside between rounds.
Where is the engraving placed?
On the front of the silver case, so the name is visible before it is opened. Engraving on front is part of how this set is designed.
How many characters can I engrave?
Up to 24 characters per line on up to 2 lines, which is 48 characters in total including spaces. A standard 3-character monogram is also available.
Can each set in a group order have a different name?
Yes. Order the quantity you need, then email your list of names to [email protected] after ordering so it can be matched to your order.
Can I engrave a company logo on the case?
Yes, by custom order. Email your logo as a vector file (.eps, .ai, .cdr, .pdf or .svg) or a high-resolution image to [email protected]; a logo setup fee applies and not every logo can be engraved.
Can I see a proof before the case is engraved?
Yes. Proofs are optional and available on request for a $35-55 service fee per proof, and a proof adds extra days to production time. Changes after a proof has been sent carry a $40 minimum updating fee, so check your text carefully before ordering. Ask in the order notes or call Customer Support at 310-878-9429.
Is there a minimum order for engraved travel game sets?
No. Order a single set or one for every groomsman. For bulk pricing, please contact [email protected].
How long does it take to get an engraved chess and backgammon set?
Standard production is 5 to 10 business days, then 2 to 5 days shipping in the US. Rush (3 to 5 days) and expedite (1 to 3 days) production are available at checkout. For a wedding, order 3 to 6 months ahead when you can.
Do you ship outside the United States, and can I return an engraved set?
International shipping is by request; the cart only calculates US shipping and international orders cannot be rushed, so email [email protected]. Engraved sets are made to order and final sale unless defective; an unengraved set can be returned within 14 days.
