Sumqayıt Azerbajian & Albania

Hey, I have seen at least one board game café in Sumqayıt near Baku. Since it was mostly elder men sitting there, I assume such tea cafés with board games must be common in Azerbajian.

Also, in Albania they have the practice of playing dominos in parks. If there is a café nearby they usually get espresso there. It is probably worth mentioning in the article.

I do unfortunately not have any references, just personal experiences.

This is also my experience. In Baku, there is a cafe in a park where mostly old men play backgammon. But they have to sit on the terrace because the boards are of wood and it makes a lot of noise when they bang the checkers down on the board for every move, as the custom is. Inside the cafe, people read newspapers and do not want the noise.

All across the middle east, you see people in cafes playing backgammon. Just ask for chai and tavla, as the boards are called.

I think this could be metioned in the introduction. Elektrobjørn (talk) 11:56, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
