Zarname - Backgammon & Tavla

Zarname is the meeting place for everyone who loves tavla and backgammon or wants to learn. Find a live opponent, invite a friend to your table or play against the computer.

FOUR GAMES, ONE TABLE
• Düz Tavla: classic backgammon; hit, make points, bear off.
• Mülteci (Gülbahar): no hitting; a single checker holds a point, the runner goes first.
• Hep Yek: doubles climb up to 6-6, dice you cannot play pass to your opponent.
• Hapis: no hitting; a checker landing on a single checker traps it.
• Mixed tavla: choose the game for each hand of the match. For example two hands of Hapis, then Hep Yek, then Düz Tavla. The plan repeats in the same order until the match ends.

LEARN TAVLA
• An animated lesson for every game: the checkers move on the board by themselves, with an explanation below.
• "Play while learning": against the easy computer; if you play a move when a better one exists, a short note appears.
• "Get advice" when playing the computer: the three best moves with their pros and cons.
• The full rules with board diagrams inside the app, plus dice names (hep yek, dubara, dü şeş…) and table manners.

LIVE PLAY
• "Find an opponent" matches you with someone who wants to play right now.
• Add friends by player code and invite them to your table with one tap.
• Free chat with friends; greet, congratulate or offer tea to anyone with ready-made phrases. Mute, block, report.
• Your rating changes with live matches; see your place on the leaderboard.
• At live tables the server rolls the dice.

AGAINST THE COMPUTER
Three levels: easy, medium and hard. The hard level learned by playing tens of thousands of games against itself; it never knows the dice in advance.

COMFORTABLE PLAY
• The board fills the screen; hold your phone upright or sideways, the board stays in place.
• Drag a checker or tap it: one tap plays the larger die, two taps go as far as possible.
• Undo and Done are on the board; if you like, rolling and bearing off happen automatically.
• The "?" button explains how to use the app, question by question.
• Two people can also play on the same phone.

YOUR ACCOUNT IS YOURS
Type your name and play right away. If you like, sign up with e-mail or Google and open your account on another phone too. You can delete your account, or only some of your data, from inside the app at any time.

Zarname opens in your phone's language: Turkish, English, German, Spanish, Russian, Arabic, Persian, Azerbaijani, Greek, Armenian, Japanese, Chinese, Kurdish and French.

There is no playing for money in Zarname.

Recent changes:
A much stronger computer: the hard level learned by playing tens of thousands of games against itself. The old hard level is now medium, the old medium is easy. With no chance left, the computer concedes the hand or the mars by itself. Settings: a separate vibration switch and an optional luck setting against the computer; its dice are always fair. In a rematch the previous winner starts. Mülteci runner rule fixed. Bigger Roll button, gear icon for Settings.
