Tavli is an amazing game with a super rich history. The game that we now know as tavli, or backgammon, likely originated about 5,000 years ago in ancient Mesopotamia. Later, the Pharaohs of Egypt were known to have enjoyed a similar game. A board used for playing a game very similar to modern backgammon – called Senet – was discovered in the tomb of Tutankhamen, as well as at archaeological sites throughout Egypt. And now it's played in Greece and all over the world
