# Stylish Summer Games The Chambray Roll-Up Backgammon & Checkers Set is Perfect for Picnics By Meghan Young | Published 2014-07-03 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chambray-rollup-backgammon-checkers References: [uncrate](http://uncrate.com/stuff/chambray-roll-up-backgammon-checkers-set/) & [asummershop](http://www.asummershop.com/shop-all/) Perfect for picnics, backyard barbecues and even in the comfort of one's own home (or cottage), the Chambray Roll-Up Backgammon & Checkers set is an alternative to the traditional design that involved a hard board to play on. In its place is a soft fabric printed with the patterns required to play the games so that it is more easily portable and, of course, stylish. Appropriately designed by A Summer Shop, the Chambray Roll-Up Backgammon & Checkers is available in three styles: star print, anchor print and plain. Coming in a drawstring bag with 32 wooden game pieces as well as a die and dice cup, it could be the perfect pastime for a lazy day this Independence Day long weekend. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.6/10 - Popularity: 3% | Activity: 8% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Portable Games:** Creating game sets with lightweight and easily transportable materials presents an opportunity for on-the-go entertainment. - **Printed Fabric:** Using printed fabric to replace traditional hard boards in game sets offers a stylish and customizable alternative. - **Outdoor Leisure Activities:** Designing games specifically for outdoor activities, like picnics and barbecues, taps into the growing demand for leisure options outside of the home. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Recreation Equipment:** Manufacturing companies can explore new materials and designs to create innovative and portable game sets for leisure activities. - **Textile and Printing:** The textile and printing industries can collaborate to produce printed fabrics specifically designed for game sets, opening up new market opportunities. - **Event Planning and Tourism:** Event planners and tourism companies can incorporate portable game sets into their offerings to enhance outdoor experiences and attract customers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Magnetic Portable Chess Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ventureboard.md) - [Rollable Chess Boards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rollup-chess-board.md) - [Redefined Sculptural Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/another-kingdom.md) - [Luxury Game Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxury-board-game.md) - [Luxury Metal Checkers Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxury-metal-checkers-case.md) - [Luxe Luggage Chess Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rimowa-chess-attache.md) - [Hybrid Backyard Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/backyard-game.md) - [Intelligent Portable Board Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eifplay.md) - [Board Game Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/board-game-backpacks.md)
