## What is Backgammon?

Master the ancient game of strategy. Tavla brings classic backgammon to your device — with ranked ONLINE multiplayer to match real players worldwide, a lantern-lit Kahvehane full of rival regulars, and smart AI that works with no internet at all.

MEET TAHIR AND YUSUF BEY AT THE KAHVEHANE
Step into a Turkish coffeehouse straight off Istanbul's back streets. Tahir and Yusuf Bey are the house regulars — two rivals with their own voice, their own table talk, and firm opinions about how tavla should be played. Choose who's sitting across the board from you, pick your side, and see if you can send them home quiet.
