Tavli (Greek: Τάβλι), sometimes called Greek Backgammon in English, is the most popular way of playing tables games (or 'backgammon games') in Greece and Cyprus and is their national board game. Tavli is a compendium game for two players which comprises three different variants played in succession: Portes, Plakoto and Fevga. These are played in a cycle until one player reaches the target score - usually five or seven points.
