Fevga is a Greek tables game for two players, closely related to backgammon and played in Greece and the eastern Mediterranean. It is normally played together with Portes and Plakoto as the three-game set known as Tavli, and the Ludii record also lists the name Moultezim. It uses a standard backgammon board. Each player has fifteen pieces, all starting on the leftmost point of their own side, and both players move anti-clockwise around the board. Moves follow the two dice, and doubles are played twice. At the start each player may move only one piece until it has passed the opponent starting point. A player may not block all six points of the opponent starting quadrant. Once every piece is in the final six points a player may begin bearing off. The first to bear off everything wins one point, or two points if the opponent had not borne off any piece.
