Tavli is a traditional board game popular in Greece and other Mediterranean countries. It is similar to backgammon and is played on a board with 15 pieces for each player. The objective is to move all your pieces into your home board and then bear them off before your opponent does. The game is typically played by two players and involves both strategy and luck, as players roll dice to determine their moves. Tavli has several variations, including Portes and Plakoto, each with its own set of rules and gameplay styles, making it a versatile and engaging pastime.
