Tavla — Backgammon Offline

Tavla is the backgammon you already know — the board your family keeps in the
living room, the dice you have heard clatter a thousand times. Now it fits in
your pocket, and it works without internet.

No connection. No waiting for an opponent. Open the app and play.


▸ PLAYS ANYWHERE, ANY TIME

Everything runs on your phone. On a plane, in a tunnel, in a village with one
bar of signal — the game does not care. Nothing is downloaded mid-match and
nothing is uploaded afterwards.


▸ THREE CLASSIC VARIANTS

- Tavla (Portes) — the one everyone knows. Hit a lone checker and send it back
to the bar.
- Mahbusa (Plakoto) — land on a lone checker and it is pinned underneath yours
until you move away. Patient, positional, merciless.
- Gul Bara (Fevga) — no hitting at all. Both sides run the same direction and
the whole game becomes a race for blocking positions.

Each variant has its own rules engine, not a reskin.


▸ AN OPPONENT WORTH BEATING

Five difficulty levels, from a beginner who genuinely misreads the board to an
opponent that will punish a loose blot every single time.

The AI never cheats. It does not see your next roll and it does not get better
dice. Difficulty changes how well it thinks, never what it rolls.


▸ DICE YOU CAN TRUST

This matters more in backgammon than in any other board game, so it is worth
being precise: the dice are rolled by code that is never told whose turn it is
or what the board looks like. It cannot favour anyone, because it is not given
the information it would need to.


▸ TWO PLAYERS, ONE PHONE

Pass the phone across the table. The board turns, the score keeps itself, and
nobody needs an account.


▸ MADE TO FEEL LIKE THE REAL THING

Walnut and mother-of-pearl boards. Dice that tumble and settle instead of
snapping to a number. A short click through the phone when a checker lands on
a stack. Five board styles to choose from.


▸ YOUR LANGUAGE

Full support for Turkish, Arabic, Persian, Greek, Azerbaijani, Russian and
English — including right-to-left layout, done properly.


▸ FREE

Free to play, with ads. No energy bar, no timer counting down, no checker you
have to pay to move. Remove ads once if you would rather not see them.


Roll the dice. Şeş beş.
