Tawla


Don't know if Mt won or lost this game, but judging by the fact that I only see 1,500 Iraqi dinar by his elbow, the stakes seem lower than usual! Anyway, I post this picture because the people who play backgammon here amaze me with their skill and lightening speed. As soon as the die stop rolling, the other player immediately picks up and rolls them without waiting or watching. At a split second glance, he knows what move he will be making and what numbers he hopes his die will land on. This must have been a rare moment of stillness.
