P40 does it again! We keep coming out with exciting new products. The board on the left is our new, slightly larger board, with 2" metal-rimmed checkers. Many of us love a bigger board. By the way, the 2" checkers weight about the same as the 1-3/4" checkers. You might also notice a new hinge design which makes the center bar wider for easier placement of checkers on the bar when they are hit.

The board on the right looks just like our current P40, but there is a big difference. IT IS 4 LBS LIGHTER! Instead of an aluminum frame, it uses a very strong, lighter-weight material.

Here are more details for you on the two boards:

The 2" board is all Delrin construction with carbon fiber core surfaces. We've managed to keep the weight of the 2" checkers to the same weight as our 1.75" checkers. Also, on the 2" you'll notice a new hinge design to make the center bar wider.vvThe board is 15.75" x 22.75" x 2.75" in closed position and 7.5 lbs empty and 9.9 lbs with checkers.

The 1.75" lightweight board is the same dimensions as our previous board at 14"x 22.75"x2.5" and weighs 6.6 lbs empty, 8.8 lbs with checkers. Featuring Delrin construction and carbon fiber core surfaces.

Because both boards are Delrin, the frame must always be black, but you can still design any colors and personalization of the surface, and you can choose for a wide variety of checker colors and styles. Our new clay checkers are only available in the 1-3/4" size at this time.

The price for the 2" board is $1250.00 including cube, checkers, cups and dice, plus shipping.

The price for the lighter 1-3/4" checker board is $1095.00 with the same inclusions as above, with either clay or metal-rimmed checkers, plus shipping.

The custom P40 Scrambler fits perfectly on both boards, and we offer a wonderful carrying case with shoulder strap to fit both boards.
