Ancient Games - Tabula

Tabula is a greek word that translates to board or plank.

The board that the game was played on is almost identical to a modern backgammon board.
Each player has 15 pieces and they take it in turns to roll three dice. The amount rolled corresponds to a amount they must move along the board. both players move in opposite directions.

When i played this game i observed that there was a lot of luck involved as you where relying on a dice roll.

I slightly enjoyed this game. However i do not think i enjoyed it enough that i would be interested in playing it again.
