What is Nardi??

Question

A friend of mine was playing this game Nardi but it just looks like backgammon. What is it? Anybody know anything about it?

Answer 1

Tables (Nardi) is a general name given to a class of board games similar to backgammon, played on a board with two rows of 12 vertical markings called "points". Players roll dice to determine the movement of pieces. Tables games are among the oldest known board games, and many variants are played throughout the world.
