Plakoto (Πλακωτό) is a tables game for two players that is popular in Greece.

This game is usually played along with two other variants, Févga and Pórtes (the latter is similar to backgammon).

[1] It is a game of contrary movement i.e. the pieces or men move around in opposing directions.

The number of points, or pips, or the places a player can move his pieces is decided by the roll of the dice.

A game in which the mother pieces of both players are pinned results in a tie.

A player may only start bearing off in Plakoto after all fifteen pieces have reached the home board.

A player can bear off by rolling a number that corresponds to the point on which the piece is placed.

Tapa (Тапа) is a very similar tables game played in Bulgaria and North Macedonia.

(Note that there might be slight differences in the match rules and scoring; the ones described here are common for North Macedonia).
