Elevate Your Next Vacation With Throwing Doubles’ Chic Board Games and Cards

Picture this: You’re escaping the winter chill on a South Beach pool lounger while nursing a tropical cocktail that makes you forget it’s not really summer. The sun is shining, you’re getting a tan going while lathering on the SPF, the background house music is putting you in an optimal state of mind… but there’s something missing. Entertainment of the analog variety, which doesn’t require a thumb’s endless scroll on a phone screen or putting on your AirPods.

While bringing board games to parties and on vacations might seem a tad bit tacky (you’re probably envisioning a battered Uno set or a greasy Cards Against Humanity box), there’s now a way to do it in a sophisticated manner: thanks to Throwing Doubles, a brand that’s striving to put luxury back into the board games experience.

Only a few years old, Throwing Doubles, helmed by Brittany Chadwick, is already making great strides in bringing classiness to an industry dominated by corporate giants like Hasbro and Mattel. Its premise is simple: The brand specializes only in backgammon boards and playing card sets out of Italian leather that can moonlight as design objects in the home. Each of Throwing Doubles’ pleasing-on-the-eyes boards can easily roll up into a shape that takes up less space than a water bottle, meaning you can easily put them into your overnight bag, carry-on, and designer handbag without a second thought.

Handmade in Los Angeles, the offerings pride themselves on having the highest level of craftsmanship — meaning they can join you on foreign travels across decades without showing signs of wear and tear, while also being an easy choice of activity during at-home dinners, family game nights, and more.

No matter if you play poolside or while wrapped in your favorite blanket by the fireplace, Throwing Doubles’ Travel Backgammon Board will become the chicest form of entertainment you own. Courtesy Throwing Doubles

Though the cards and backgammon boards were already available — in aptly named styles from “Cyprus” to “Nantucket” — at retailers like Nordstrom and Moda Operandi, they’ve just now arrived at FWRD, making Throwing Doubles the platform’s first-ever luxury travel games brand.

“Our clientele mirrors FWRD’s, design-minded, fashion-forward, and global in their perspective, so bringing our worlds together makes perfect sense,” says Chadwick. “Both of our brands share the belief that luxury can live at the intersection of fashion, lifestyle, and experience.”

Whether your new acquisitions spend most of their time in hotel rooms, your home, or on a yacht (because why not live lavish?), know that you’ll constantly be tempted to put them to good use — simultaneously indulging in delightful conversations, the sumptuous tactility of a Throwing Doubles set, and the thrill that comes with, well, throwing doubles.

The Leather Playing Card Sets from Throwing Doubles are also instant winners in our book, coming in cases made from pebbled leather and tactile suede that you won’t want to keep out of your sight. Courtesy Throwing Doubles

The two FWRD-exclusive colorways of Throwing Doubles’ water-resistant Travel Backgammon Board are Tulum (a timeless combination of green, white, and brown suede) and Manhattan (swapping the green for the black), and each one comes with all the pieces you’ll need to not only play well but win. As for the cards, you’re getting a choice of The Palmilla or The Marrakesh here: standard decks inside leather carriers lined with jewel-toned green and red suede, respectively, that will make sure you’re always dealt a good hand in life.

Already bought a plane ticket to Cabo for the upcoming holidays? Make space in your suitcase for Throwing Doubles’ heirloom-worthy game sets. Leaving home without them would be, in backgammon terms, quite the blunder.
