About the brand
Tric trac is an eco-designed travel backgammon. Backgammon is a very accessible board game that combines strategy, luck, and risk-taking. Playable in 15 minutes, it is the ideal game for trips with two or more people. The trictrac is a pocket backgammon: on the train, at the café, at the beach... it adapts everywhere! We use end-of-life jeans to make the boards in our workshops in France. The pieces are made of 100% recycled plastic thanks to our partner Le Pavé, based in the Île-de-France region. Denim is one of the strongest fabrics out there, and plastic... let's not even talk about it! The whole thing weighs only 118 grams. That's as much as a carrot! Packaged, our tric tracs are ready to follow you on all your adventures!
Eco-responsible impact
The ambition of tric trac was to design a game (one that already existed: backgammon) without producing any new material. The jeans for the boards are old trousers, and the chips are old plastic bottles. What's more, the whole thing is made in France (Bourgogne-Franche-Comté and Île-de-France).
