A good set should earn its place on the table between games.

So we pick the ones that do, describe them plainly, and take them back within 30 days if they are unused.

Choose by game

Three classics, chosen well

Chess

Board and pieces that match

The king's base should fill about three quarters of a square. We list board and piece sizes where we have them, so the set looks right before you open it.

Mahjong

Tiles for the game you play

American, Chinese and Japanese mahjong use different tile counts. Every mahjong listing says which style it suits, so the weekly table gets the right set.

Backgammon

A case that closes properly

A backgammon set lives on a shelf as often as on a table. We look for cases that fold flat, latch shut and look like they belong in the room.

Game night

Set the table, then deal.

Mats that quiet the tiles, card holders, chip cases and dice trays. The pieces that make a long evening at the table run smoothly.

How to choose

Four questions before you buy

Read the chess set guide
01

Who plays

Two players at chess or backgammon, four at mahjong, a crowd at poker. Start with the game your table actually plays.

02

Where it lives

Left out on a coffee table, or packed in a cupboard. A set on display needs a board and case you like looking at.

03

How big

Check the board, tile or piece sizes in the listing against the table you have. Bigger reads better across the table.

04

What comes with it

Racks, pushers, dice, a case or a mat. The listing says what is included, so nothing is missing on game night.

Which mahjong set do I need for American mahjong?

What size chess set suits a coffee table?
