International Backgammon

It happens often when you play backgammon online. It can also happen when you travel abroad with your backgammon board. You play against a foreign opponent, and except for the international language of the backgammon game, you have no means of communication with each other – you don't know how to say hello, or goodbye in their language, compliment them on their fine game and so on.

Since in Turkey, backgammon, (or Tavla), is very popular, there is a great chance you will find yourself competing against a Turk online. Thanks to Mert Can Aydın, you can start reciting most of the dice combinations in Türkçe.
