What Giant Backgammon is
Backgammon is a famous game of wits and strategy, especially popular in Russia.
This giant version takes the classic board game to a far larger scale, with a 500 g PVC board measuring 5 × 5 metres and pieces scaled to match.
How Giant Backgammon works
Here's how Giant Backgammon for Events works, step by step:
- Players split into two teams: white pieces and black pieces.
- In turns, they move their pieces across the board under the classic backgammon rules.
- The aim is to bear all your own pieces off the board before the opponent does.
- Strategy and working out the moves decide the game.
Giant backgammon tournament for a strategic team building
Backgammon is a game of calculation and anticipation, and in giant format it becomes a really original group activity. A giant backgammon tournament makes teams debate every move, read their opponents' strategy and make decisions together, which is exactly what you want from a strategic team building session.
- White and black teams: each side decides together which piece to move, and the discussion is part of the game.
- Pieces moved by hand: with 30 pieces measuring 30 cm on the mat, players walk across the board and the game becomes physical and visual.
- Knockout rounds: several rounds between departments keep the tension going right up to the grand final.
- Out of the ordinary: it's rarer than other giant games and sparks everyone's curiosity.
The 5 x 5 metre PVC mat can be laid out on any flat surface, indoors or outdoors, and needs no electricity. It also works as a decorative game in hotel gardens and marquees, but in tournament format it brings out the best in your teams. We bring it to Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia and across Spain, ready to play as soon as the mat is down and the pieces are in place.

Frequently asked questions
What is Giant Backgammon and how is it played at an event?
Giant Backgammon is the classic strategy game on a huge scale: a 500 g PVC canvas board measuring 5 × 5 metres, with 30 white and black pieces 30 cm across. Two players or two teams compete, and the first to bear all their pieces off the board wins.
What space and power does Giant Backgammon need?
Giant Backgammon needs no electricity. The board measures 5 × 5 metres and we recommend a flat area of 6 × 6 metres. It works equally well indoors and outdoors, since the 500 g canvas stands up well to heavy use in the open air.
How long does Giant Backgammon take to set up, and is staff needed?
Giant Backgammon takes about 15 minutes to set up and another 15 to take down, and it needs no staff. We lay the canvas on a flat surface and place the 30 pieces. We handle transport, set-up and collection in Barcelona and throughout Spain.
Can Giant Backgammon be customised with my company's branding?
Yes, Giant Backgammon can be changed in size and design. The triangles can use your corporate colours, the centre or the bar can carry your logo, and the pieces can have markings for each player or team. We can also design a themed version with you.
What events is Giant Backgammon ideal for?
Giant Backgammon is ideal for corporate events, strategic team building, Arabic or Mediterranean themed parties, hotels and resorts, shopping centres, fairs and festivals. It is less common than giant goose or ludo, so it draws attention and offers a different kind of challenge.
