Tavli - Das griechische Backgammon

Godzilla

ゴジラ
Tavli besteht aus drei Runden, die jeweils leicht unterschiedlichen Regeln folgen. Die geringen Unterschiede in den Regeln führen jedoch zu grundsätzlich verschiedenen Spielstrategien, was den Reiz von Tavli ausmacht.

Die drei Runden (Portes, Plakoto und Fevga) werden solange wiederholt, bis ein Spieler eine vorher festgelegte Punktzahl (meist 3, 5 oder 7) erreicht hat. Allen drei Regelvarianten ist gemeinsam, dass jeder Spieler versucht, seine gesamten Steine von ihrer Startposition aus zunächst in einen Zielbereich (Home-Board) zu bringen, von wo aus sie dann aus dem Spiel herausgewürfelt werden können. Es gewinnt der Spieler, der zuerst alle eigenen Steine vom Spielfeld entfernt hat.

Greece[edit]​

Backgammon is popular among Greeks. It is a game in which Greeks usually tease their opponent and create a lively atmosphere. The game is called "Tavli", derived in Byzantine times from the Latin word tabula.[70] A game, almost identical to backgammon, called Tavli (Byzantine Greek: τάβλη) is described in an epigram of the Byzantine Emperor Zeno (AD 476–481).[67] There are four games of Tavli commonly played:

Portes: Set-up and rules the same as backgammon, except that backgammons count as gammons (2 points) and there is no doubling cube.

Plakoto: A game where one checker can trap another checker on the same point.

Fevga: A game where one checker by itself can block a point.

Asodio: Also known as Acey-deucey, where all checkers are off the board, and players enter by rolling either doubles or acey-deucey.

These games are played one after another, in matches of three, five, or seven points.[76] Before starting a match, each player rolls 1 die, and the player with the highest roll picks up both dice and re-rolls (i.e. it is possible to roll doubles for the opening move). Players use the same pair of dice in turns. After the first game, the winner of the previous game starts first. Each game counts as 1 point, if the opponent has borne off at least 1 stone, otherwise 2 points (gammon/backgammon). There is no doubling cube.

Tabula (Byzantine Greek: τάβλι), meaning a plank or board,[1] was a Greco-Roman board game, and is generally thought to be the direct ancestor of modern backgammon.



According to the Etymologiae by Isidore of Seville, tabula was first invented by a Greek soldier of the Trojan War named Alea.

[3][4] The earliest description of "τάβλι" (tavli) is in an epigram of Byzantine emperor Zeno (r. 474–475; 476–491), given by Agathias of Myrine (6th century AD), who describes a game in which Zeno goes from a strong position to a very weak one after an unfortunate dice roll.[2] The rules of Tabula were reconstructed in the 19th century by Becq de Fouquières based upon this epigram.[2][5] The game was played on a board nearly identical to a modern backgammon board with 24 points, 12 on each side.[2] Two players had 15 pieces each, and moved them in opposing directions around the board, according to the roll of three dice.[2][5] A piece resting alone in a space on the board was vulnerable to being hit.[2] Hitting a blot, reentering a piece from the bar, and bearing off, all had the same rules as today. The only differences with modern backgammon were the use of an extra die (three rather than two) and the starting of all pieces off the board (with them entering in the same way that pieces on the bar enter in modern backgammon).

In the epigram Zeno, who was white (red in illustration), had a stack of seven checkers, three stacks of two checkers and two blots, checkers that stand alone on a point and are therefore in danger of being put outside the board by an incoming opponent checker. Zeno threw the three dice with which the game was played and obtained 2, 5 and 6. As in backgammon, Zeno could not move to a space occupied by two opponent (black) pieces. The white and black checkers were so distributed on the points that the only way to use all of the three results, as required by the game rules, was to break the three stacks of two checkers into blots, thus exposing them to capture and ruining the game for Zeno.[2][6]

Tabula was most likely a later refinement of ludus duodecim scriptorum, with the board's middle row of points removed, and only the two outer rows remaining.[5]

Today, the word "τάβλι" is still used to refer to backgammon in Greece,[7] as well as in Syria and Turkey (as tavla), Bulgaria(as tabla) and in Romania (as table); in these countries, backgammon remains a popular game played in town squares and in cafes.
 

Ein uraltes Würfelspiel​

Das Würfelbrettspiel Backgammon ist sehr alt. Wie viele andere kulturelle Errungenschaften entstammt auch Backgammon vermutlich der Hochkultur Mesopotamiens, der Wiege unserer Zivilisation im heutigen Irak.
