If you are a fan of backgammon, and enjoy playing online, you will probably come across a version of the game called tavla. Tavla is the Turkish version of backgammon and is very similar. It is very popular in Turkey and is also played in Iran, under the name Takhteh.

Tavla is played on the same board as backgammon and with the same number of checkers. The aim of the game is also the same – to get all your checkers into your home board and bear them off before your opponent.

However, playing tavla online or in the traditional way never involves gambling. You may think that this would take the edge off the game, but in fact, tavla is a very fast-paced game, and outsiders often find it hard to follow.

If you would like to try your hand at this version, you can find tavla online on many websites. You can find information regarding the exact rules, and watch some experienced players before starting, to get the hang of the game. You might even be lucky enough to find some Turkish players willing to show you the ropes of tavla online.

You'll also find forums for tavla online, where you can set up matches and tournaments between players.
