Nardi is a strategy game that is played widely in Armenia. This dice based game is played by two players. It is based on the ancient Persian game of Nard.
There are 15 pieces and two dice. The game is played on a board with 24 points. A player starts the game with all of his 15 pieces placed along the right-hand side of the opponent's side of the board. The goal is to move all 15 pieces into a player's home, the last six points of the player's side, and then off the board.
