I knit them a backgammon board. I think it's pretty cool that the ancient Egyptians, Mesopotamians, Romans, and Iranians all played a game similar to the modern backgammon. Like Go and Mancala, it's a simple game with enough strategy to keep you playing.
And it's a short enough game that you can afford to challenge "best two outta three!" if you happen to lose the first round. :)
the details --* pattern in Weekend Knitting - uses intarsia
* yarn is Cotton-Ease, an aran weight cotton/acrylic blend
* container holding the pieces is a spice tin I covered with yarn

You forgot to mention how well it transports, as it can roll/fold up to little or nothing. We LOVE it!
