Nard (game)
Nard (or nardshir, or narde, Persian نرد) is a board game for two players in which the playing pieces are moved according to rolls of dice. It is similar to backgammon in that it uses the same board, but it has different initial positions and rules.
== History ==
The game has been historically popular in Persia, Muslim countries, and among Babylonian Jews. The name ''nardshir'' comes from the Persian words ''nard'' ("wooden block") and ''shir'' ("lion") referring to the two types of pieces used in play.
A common legend associates the game with the founder of the Sassanian Dynasty, Ardshir. The oldest known reference to the game is thought to be a passage in the Talmud, although some claim it refers to the Greek game Kubeia. Another early reference is to be found in the Middle Persian romance ''Chatrang-namak'' (written between the 7th and 9th centuries) which attributes the invention of the game to Bozorgmehr.
By the 17th century the game was played in Georgia under the name of ''nardi'', and by the 19th century it was being played by the Kalmucks, who called it ''narr''. During most part of the 20th century both Georgia and Kalmucks were parts of USSR, so now the game is played in Russia and other ex-USSR countries under the name of ''nardy'' (нарды).
