Folding Chess Set - Chess Draughts & Backgammon Set 3 in 1 Chess, Draughts & Backgammon

If you want one set that covers chess, draughts and backgammon without buying three separate games, this is the one to pick. It is made from 100 percent wood and folds into its own storage, so you are not choosing between games, you get all three plus the pieces and instructions in one box. Good for a household where different family members prefer different games. Check the 32 x 16 x 5.08 cm folded size fits where you plan to keep it.

It is made from 100 percent wood, not plastic or a printed laminate finish. Jaques describe it as solid and robust while still being entirely portable, which is the balance you want for a set that gets folded and carried around rather than left permanently set up. This is the same maker that originated the Staunton chess pattern, so the construction reflects that long experience rather than a generic import build.

This set is suggested from around 6 to 7 years old. Jaques note it suits beginners and children as well as more experienced players, so a child can start on the simpler draughts game and grow into chess and backgammon with the same board and pieces. There is no need to buy a separate beginner set first, since all three games are included from the start.

The board folds and includes handy built-in storage for all the playing pieces, so you are not hunting for a separate box or bag between games. Everything for chess, draughts and backgammon packs away into the one folding unit with the included instructions. This is what makes it a genuine travel set rather than just a board that happens to be foldable.

Your set comes complete with all the playing pieces needed for chess, draughts and backgammon, a folding games board with built-in storage, and detailed instructions for all three games. So it is a single purchase covering three games rather than needing to buy pieces or boards separately. It arrives gift-wrapped in Jaques of London packaging with hand-tied ribbon.

Folded, the set measures 32 x 16 x 5.08 cm, roughly 12 inches across, which is compact enough to pack for travel or slip into a bag. Jaques describe it as entirely portable despite being made from solid wood, so it is designed to be carried and folded away rather than left as a permanent tabletop fixture. Worth checking this against your bag or shelf space before buying.

It works well as a gift because it is three games in one box rather than a single-purpose item, so it suits a wider range of ages and tastes in one household. It arrives already gift-wrapped in Jaques of London packaging with a hand-tied ribbon, so there is no extra wrapping needed. Jaques has made games since 1795, which adds some weight if you want a gift with a real maker history behind it.

Jaques is the original inventor of the Staunton chess set pattern, and this folding set is produced by the same company to what they describe as the highest standard. It is not marketed as a dedicated Staunton competition set, it is a 3 in 1 travel and family set combining chess, draughts and backgammon in solid wood. If you want a standalone Staunton-only set, that would be a different product in their range.
