An ancient Asian city with an edge. Golden palaces, floating markets, soaring temple spires…you've never seen a capital city quite like Bangkok and you've never seen anything like the Sunflower Tower.

The Pointe Hotel & Trade Center

Dubai - United Arab Emirates

The Pointe Hotel & Trade Center, in the shape of a backgammon point, pierces the skies over the Persian Gulf reaching toward the Backgammon Gods.  Six backgammon floors, each separated by 20 floors in this towering multicultural luxuray hotel and office complex. 

 

The higher the floor, the more prestigious the gaming.  Champions play at the top in a circlular room call the Naftha Minn Alalem (Window of the Globe).  The views are amazing... Those below could be "crushed like ant".

 

167 floors, equal to the number of pips to start a game. We think you get the Pointe!

Paasa Devataon Ka Mahal

Mumbai, India

 

"The Palace of the Dice Gods" is India's most significant tribute to Backgammon.  Thousands of players compete at the palace each year, calling upon the Backgammon Gods to conquer adversaries with power rolls or to escape certain death by landing the most unlikely combinations of the dice.

Rooms for prayer, mediation, and yoga are scattered within the walls. Taste India's delicacies, marvel at rare art exhibits,  shop the local merchants or gather in Parcheesi rooms for a 4-way battle.
