Established in 1948 in the industrial belly of Brooklyn, NY, Crisloid quickly built a reputation on unrivaled, American-made quality. Company founders and backgammon enthusiasts Alfonse and Lucky Lodato believed that quality materials and painstaking engineering were tantamount. Their execution of this philosophy swiftly propelled Crisloid to its position as the professionals' most widely respected backgammon equipper today. From their expansive, quiet-cork playing surfaces to their hallmark hand-crafted and polished checkers, every detail is designed and built by Crisloid themselves, ensuring they provide peerless play for generations to come.
