Nardi Online — Free Nardi Online with Georgian Rules

Nardi online, nardi onlain, nardis tamashi — this is how many people search for nardi on a phone’s Latin keyboard, and every one of these phrases means the same thing: you want to play nardi right now, in the browser, without downloading anything. That is exactly what Tamashebi.cc offers — Georgian nardi against a live opponent, for free. This page is a short guide: how to sit down at a table in a minute, which rules the game follows and what to know if you play on a phone.

What “nardi online” means here

This is not foreign backgammon under a Georgian name. What is played here is the short nardi that people at a Georgian table simply call nardi: fifteen checkers, two dice, hitting and the bar, and a game is scored as oini, mars or koks. The numbers on the dice keep their old names too — yaki, du, se, chari, panji, shashi. Long nardi is not on the site yet.

How to play right now

Open the Nardi page — the tables are right there.
Sit at an open table or create your own: you choose how many points the match is played to (1, 3, 5 or 7) and how much time each move has.
If you have no account, join as a guest: the site suggests a name, you choose an avatar — and you are already at the board.
To play a friend, create a table and send them the link — on WhatsApp, Messenger or wherever you like. If needed, the table can also have a password.

One thing plainly: in Nardi your opponent is always a living person — there is no button to choose a bot yet. A bot only makes a move when a player’s time has run out.

The rules in one minute

A game starts with each player rolling one die: whoever rolls higher starts and plays exactly those two numbers.
Each die is one move. On a double — the same number on both dice — four moves are played.
A checker may land on an empty point, on your own checkers or on a single checker of your opponent. A point held by two or more checkers is closed.
Landing on a lone checker hits it — it goes to the bar, and until you bring it back in you cannot move any other checker.
If both dice can be played, both must be played; if only one can, it must be the higher number.
When all fifteen checkers are home, bearing off begins. Whoever bears off all of theirs first wins.

Oini, mars and koks

Wins are worth different amounts. Oini is one point — the loser has borne off at least one checker. Mars is two points — the loser has not borne off a single one. Koks is three points — the loser has borne off none and still has at least one checker hit or left in the winner’s home. So in a match to 7 points a single koks changes the score sharply. There is no doubling cube, the davi, here — the game follows the classic rules.

Nardi with a friend

Nardi is best played against an old rival. Create a table, choose a one-point game or a long match and send the link — if your friend has no account, they sit down as a guest. Both of you see the same dice at the same moment, so nobody ever has to ask “what did you roll?” again.

Nardi on a phone — tips

If the board feels small, try holding the phone sideways — tapping the checkers becomes more precise.
When you tap a checker, every point it can move to is shown — so it is hard to move by mistake.
Move time is limited, so turn notifications off during a game: one call can cost you your move time.
If the internet drops for a second, there is no need to panic: the game is kept on the server, and if you come back in time you carry on from the same position.
When you play as a guest, do not use a private (incognito) tab if you want to keep your profile — closing it ends the session too.

Is it free? Where does money come in?

Nowhere. Nardi is free; there are free tables and tables for Domino Coin — the coin is virtual, cannot be bought and cannot be exchanged for money. The dice are thrown by the server from a cryptographic source of randomness, and both players see the number at the same time — the browser has no way to influence it.
