Medieval illustration of tabula players from the 13th century Carmina Burana.. Tabula (Byzantine Greek: τάβλι), meaning a plank or board, [1] was a Greco-Roman board game for two players that has given its name to the tables family of games of which backgammon is a member.
The word 'tables' is derived from the Latin tabula which primarily meant 'board' or 'plank', but also referred to this genre of game.
