Coming soon onGoogle Play

Pull up a cushion in a lantern-lit bazaar. An inlaid walnut board, the click of ivory checkers, dice tumbling across the felt - and a rival waiting across the table.
Tavlora is backgammon with full, correct rules and a computer opponent that plays real backgammon: it counts pips, weighs every blot and looks ahead at your possible rolls.
THREE GAMES IN ONE
- Backgammon: hits, the bar, bearing off, gammons and backgammons, and the doubling cube with the Crawford rule
- Long backgammon (Narde): everyone runs the same way and every checker blocks
- Plakoto: no hitting - land on a lone checker to pin it, and guard your mother checker
CAREER: 4 VENUES, 8 RIVALS
- The Rooftop Terrace, the Spice Market, the Fountain Court and the Carpet Palace
- 24 bouts of 1, 3 and 5 points; each venue brings something new: the cube, Plakoto, Long backgammon
- Every rival has a style and a few words for you; three stars to earn in every bout
- Win boards, checkers and dice as you clear the venues
