ABOUT THE PRODUCT
Introduce kids to two classic games as well as the artist Keith Haring with this two-sided board that allows you to play both backgammon and checkers with wooden pieces. The colorful backgammon board features a joyful assemblage of dancing characters that will be instantly recognizable to anyone familiar with Haring’s work, and the black-and-white checkers board features unexpected pops of color.
The game set from Vilac includes 40 pieces, 20 black and 20 white, featuring Haring's beloved 'Barking Dogs' and 'Radiant Babies'. Vilac was one of the first companies to work with Haring - one of the pioneers of pop/street art. Four dice and directions for playing both games round out the set. The Keith Haring Backgammon & Checkers board is crafted of wood and MDF.
Keith Haring's iconography is a constant narrative in which babies, angels, flying saucers, television posts, etc. are found infinitely repeated.
