Although backgammon was played as far back as 3000 BC, the oldest collectible (intact and usable) sets tend to be from the Victorian era, often made of wood, and meant to be folded up into a box. Asian sets are often found in jade and bone. Other backgammon sets may feature ivory or bakelite, but the most common material is wood.
