RPM, you are absolutely right.

Which is good as I can lose the crease lines. we have a backgammon set which is a roll up one, the board is leather and rolls around the coins. I'll have a think about this.

The pieces are meant to be precious - the cylinders are gold and silver, and the coins are meant to be precious stones. I'll try to bring that out more with the lighting.

Thanks for the tips, much apprciatied!
