01 MÉTIER BACKGAMMON SET Métier's grained-leather set feels like the serious board you'd find in some wealthy backgammon enthusiast's game room, but it rolls up to fit in a backpack. The details such as hand-painted edging and magnets that act as anchors-make it elegant and whimsical all at once. The Game of Kings deserves no less. $950
