Tawla

Tawla is Egyptian backgammon at a lantern-lit cafe table in Cairo's Khan el-Khalili. Play the three classic cafe games (3ada, Ma7boussa and 31) against a CPU opponent with a new Egyptian name every match, or invite a friend through Wavedash lobbies. Shake and throw physically simulated dice, drag hand-crafted walnut, mother-of-pearl and turquoise checkers, and hear every roll called in Egyptian Arabic over the murmur of the cafe. Plays in English, Egyptian Arabic and French.
