The Reliquary Collection reproduces these ancient boardgames using the highest quality materials and presenting them in a super unique format… that of suede leather pouches laser-etched with the gameboard, and pieces made of the highest materials like natural marble playing pieces or two-sided dice made of solid wood called “lots”. Other features include extremely durable composite paper rulebooks laced onto the satin draw-string and a drawstring that allows the game pieces to be folded into the string-closed pouch for easy carrying, protection and portability.
