فاكر قعدة القهوة، والطاولة، والشاي اللي بيتكتب على حساب اللي يخسر؟ هي دي "طاولة". العب محبوسة أو ٣١ أونلاين مع ناس حقيقية، أو افتح ترابيزة خاصة وابعت الكود لصحابك. ولو عايز تسخّن الأول، العب ضد الكمبيوتر براحتك ومن غير ما تدفع ولا عملة. الحساب على الخسران أول ما الدور يبدأ، بيبقى فيه شاي لكل واحد على الترابيزة. عايز تعلّي؟ اطلب قهوة ولا سحلب. خصمك يا يجاري ويتكتب المشروب على الاتنين، يا يسلّم ويقوم. وفي الآخر اللي يخسر يدفع الحساب كله، واللي يكسب ياخده. من قهوة البلد للنادي الفاخر كل ما تلعب أكتر وتكسب، بتفتح قهاوي أغلى: قهوة وسط البلد، وبعدها كافيه البحر، لحد ما توصل النادي الفاخر. وكل ما القهوة تغلى، الحساب يتقل. وكمان: • كلّم خصمك بالصوت وانتو بتلعبوا • شوف مين أونلاين قريب منك واتحداه • دوري كل شهر، وجوايز للأوائل • أوسمة تجمعها، ومكافأة لو لعبت كل يوم • اتفرج على أي دور لعبته تاني، واعرف حركاتك كانت صح ولا لأ • اتفقوا على وقت الدور: ٣٠ أو ٦٠ أو ٩٠ ثانية، أو من غير وقت خالص ادخل كضيف في ثانية، أو بحساب Apple أو Google أو Facebook عشان عملاتك ومستواك يفضلوا معاك لو غيرت الموبايل. العملات والمشروبات جوه اللعبة بس، ومفيش فيها فلوس حقيقية.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Tawla at none against Backgammon Zone's shown. Backgammon Zone's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs monthly). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
