Play the popular board game with your friends! Backgammon, also known as Tavla, Narde or Tavli is a two players board game that involves a combination of strategy and luck, due to rolling dice. The goal is to remove all of one’s own playing pieces ⚪ ⚫ from the board before the opponent can do the same. While the dice can determine the outcome of a single game, strategy is what separates the good and the better players over a series of games.
