Backgammon on Viking

[India2017]

Silly question do Viking supply Backgammon boards
we sailed with Viking last year and made use of Scrabble boards 

But can’t remember seeing Backgammon 

Sailing on Neptune 23rd December Miami to Los Angeles so 

looking forward to another Xmas on Viking

Many thanks

I haven't seen them, but would love to get in on a tournament or two.

What are the games that are loaded on the screen tables on the 2nd(or is it 3rd )fl floor overlooking the atrium? 

I have seen people playing at them but never looked at them myself? 

[Cadodge]

I think they are on the electronic Table/boards in the atrium.

I saw at least one backgammon board in the atrium on Star in February

I have seen backgammon boards on the Neptune.

I don’t play but I’ve seen them on the ships as well. Do some of the gaming tables open up to reveal a Backgammon board? I think I may have seen that.

We are backgammon players and can confirm they are one of the options on all the electronic gaming tables found above the living room. We haven't seen any backgammon sets beyond that but haven't asked either.

What about playing cards?  Are they available to use?

Don't know about getting in on a backgammon or card game... but did make it to the midnight craps game in 7001 three nights in a row. Come on 7, baby needs new shoes! 🎲

I have seen a lot of tables playing cards on the WC.  I can’t tell you if they brought the cards, or if they were provided.  I know when I packed for this trip I threw a deck of cards into my bag.  It’s easy enough to include in your bag.  
On the last cruise we took, we bought a deck of cards from the gift shop.  I haven’t checked to see if there are any on this ship.

Backgammon was available on the electronic tables,on the Orion this past March.

While playing cribbage on the Jupiter last December we had an oops moment with a glass of wine and our playing cards. 
 

A staff member at the Explorers Desk kindly gave us a deck of Viking branded cards. We wore them out but kept one of the cards as a treasured memory of the kind service on Viking.
