It fits Svilo boards at the checker storage (separation) area. You can take it away and use it separately without the Svilo board too. Size 20x4x3 cm. Dice rolls are random. Take my word but no liability. After 10 minutes of inactivity LCD is dimmed (sleep mode); cube, clock and score data are stored and can be used later. Batteries last for years in sleep mode. Ideal for important matches and for tournament directors too. Another application is travel - you can use any small (i.e. magnetic) board and have the four functions of the SSCCD in car, air plane etc. The On-line User's Manual is here Inquire now Jump to top   ATTACHE CASE BACKGAMMON SETS Paul Magriel (X-22) tries Svilo Board   He bought it.  Folding Backgammon boards designed and made by Bulgaria's best player Svilen Todorov.
