## Fevga

A Greek Backgammon variant in which a point occupied by even a single piece is closed to the opponent — there is no such thing as a blot in Fevga. The result is a pure blocking and racing game. Fevga is the third game in the Greek Tavli set, played after Portes (standard Backgammon) and Plakoto.

### Components

| Item | Qty | Notes |
|------|-----|-------|
| **Board** | 1 | 24-point board |
| **Checkers** | 30 | 15 per player |
| **Dice** | 4 | 2 per player |

### Setup

Both players start with all 15 checkers on their own 24-point (opposite starting positions, same as standard Backgammon). Players move in opposite directions.

### Movement

Roll two dice each turn and move forward (toward your 1-point).

**No blots:** Every point occupied by one or more of your pieces is immediately closed to the opponent. There is no concept of a blot — you cannot be hit and you cannot hit.

**Blocking:** Since any single piece closes a point, one-piece blockades are powerful from the start of the game.

**First-piece restriction:** You cannot move any checker until your first checker has cleared the opponent's starting point (their 24-point, which is your 1-point). In practice, you must get at least one checker past the opponent's home board before advancing others fully.

### Bearing Off

Once all 15 of your pieces are in your home board (points 1–6), bear off normally.

### Winning

First to bear off all 15 pieces wins.
