Free backgammon and tavla, in your browser

TavlArena is a free place to play backgammon and Turkish tavla: no ads, no coins and no account needed. Play the international game with the doubling cube, or tavla with the Turkish rules, where the opening roll is rolled again and a mars counts two points.

Practise against seven computer levels that are always labelled as bots, send a friend a link, or get a quick match with a real player. Every game’s dice are sealed before it starts, so nobody, not even us, can change them.
