Tavli, also known as backgammon, is a popular game in Greece. There are tavli tournaments, people play in their homes, and they also play it while out, especially at the tavernas. I love being at a taverna in Greece and watching the Papou’s solving the problems of the world while playing Tavli! This game isn’t a new tradition, in fact it has been a popular pastime in Greece for millennia. The game was mentioned by Plato, Homer, Herodotus, and Sophocles, this game is still played with much love in Greece today. 🎲 Unleash the strategic genius within you!
