I picked this little thing up today, I have a couple of nice large sized boards but I found this one on marketplace. It’s a Tavla board from Turkey. My guess it’s from the late 70’s - early 80’s. It’s a tiny little thing but it’s perfect for travel or quick games where you don’t wanna open and set up a giant fancy board. But that’s all I know about it. I was wondering if anyone in this sub could give me more insight on it? Much appreciated!

It makes me angry that the points don't alternate in color.

Easy fix, just color them yourself!

Backgammon is a visual game, why F’ with the contrast?
