moves to a point opposite that of an opposing man, the latter is 'hit'. It must be removed from the board and re-entered from the start. Greece and Cyprus In Greece, tables games are called tavli (related to the word tavla, meaning "board" or "table" or "tawleh" from Arabic, and cognate to the Latin tabula). "Tavli" was first described in an epigram of the Byzantine Emperor Zeno (AD 476–481). There are three mainstream different games, portes, plakoto, and fevga: Portes closely resembles backgammon, with minor variations: there is no doubling cube, and a backgammon, i.e when a player wins triple, counts only as a gammon , i.e. winning double (called diplo, Greek for double). Plakoto is very similar to the mahbusa or tapa game. It has some general similarities with Portes, with different initial placement of the pieces and with pinning of blots (moving a counter to a point with one enemy counter so that it cannot move) instead of hitting them out. Fevga is similar to narde or the Turkish variant moultezim. There are no blots, therefore a point is blocked to the opponent even when occupied by a single piece. The three games are normally played consecutively, in three-, five- or seven-point matches. There are also other variants like Sfaktes which means slayers, and Evraiko (Jewish), a much simpler game depending entirely on luck with no room for skill. Romania In Romania, tablă (meaning "board", cognate of the Latin tabula) is similar to backgammon, with two variations: there is no doubling cube and a backgammon counts only as a gammon (called marț). Matches are usually played to three points. Sweden Bräde or svenskt brädspel ("Swedish Tables") is an elaborate version of the historical game verquere that is played in Sweden. Players start with all 15 of their counters on opposite corners of the board, and play around counter-clockwise. Besides bearing off, there are several other ways to win, such as arranging all of one's counters in certain pre-determined patterns, or by hitting so many counters that one's opponent can not bring them in again. Additional points are awarded for a victory while one's opponent has counters on the bar. Brädspel is played without the doubling cube. Interest in brädspel experienced a resurgence following the recovery of a 17th-century board from the wreck of the Vasa. A tables board was also recovered from the wreck of the English ship Mary Rose, which sank a century earlier in 1545. It is on display at the Mary Rose Museum in Portsmouth. Far East Sugoruku There are two games known as sugoroku (双六) in Japan. One more closely resembles Snakes and Ladders, while the other is played on a 24-point tables board, using standard tables equipment. The starting position is identical to that of backgammon, however it differs from most other tables variants in that the pieces are never borne off. Additionally, the use of primes is not permitted. Middle East and Central Asia The game known in the West as backgammon is played widely in the Middle East and Central Asia. It is known as in Arabic (meaning "table"), and is referred to as in Iran. In Israel and many Arabic speaking countries, the game is known as "shesh besh", which is a combination for the sake of the rhyme of Persian "shesh" (six) and Turkish "besh" (five). The name nardshir comes from the Persian nard (Wooden block) and shir (lion) referring to the two type of pieces used in play. A common legend associates the game with the founder of the Sassanian dynasty, Ardashir I. The oldest known reference to the game is thought to be a passage in the Talmud. Many of the early Arabic texts which refer to the game comment on the debate regarding the legality and morality of playing the game. This debate was settled by the eighth century when all four Muslim schools of jurisprudence declared the game to be Haraam (forbidden), however the game is still played today in many Arab countries. Mahbusa Mahbusa means "imprisoned". Each player begins with 15 counters on his opponent's 24-point. If a counter is hit, it is not placed on the bar, but instead, the hitting piece is placed on top, and the point is then controlled by the hitting player. The counter which has been hit is 'imprisoned' and cannot be moved until the opponent removes his piece. Sometimes, a rule is used that requires a player to bring his first counter around to his home board before moving any others. In any case, a rapid advance to one's own home board is desirable, as imprisoning the opponent's counter there is highly advantageous. Mahbusa is similar to tapa. A feature of tables play in some Arab countries is that Persian numbers, rather than Arabic ones, are called out by a player announcing his dice | a tables board, typically with two rows of 12 vertical markings called "points". Players roll dice to determine the movement of pieces. Tables games are among the oldest known board games, and many variants are played throughout the world. They are called "tables" games because the boards consist of four quadrants called tables in French. They should not be confused with table games which are casino gambling games like roulette or blackjack. History The ancient Egyptians played a game called Senet, which belonged to the same family of race games as modern tables games, with moves controlled by the roll of dice as early as 3500 BC. The Royal Game of Ur, played in ancient Mesopotamia, is another member of the family. Recent excavations at the "Burnt City" in Iran showed that a similar game existed there around 3000 BC. The artifacts include two dice and 60 pieces. The set is believed to be 100 to 200 years older than the sets found in Ur. Though they appear to be race games there is insufficient evidence that they are ancestral to backgammon. Roman Tabula (Byzantine Greek: Tάβλη) bore similarities to modern backgammon; it was described in an epigram of the Byzantine Emperor Zeno (AD 476–481). The board layout was similar 24 points, 12 on each side and dice were used to move the pieces, however both players moved in the same direction. As in backgammon the object of the game was to be the first to bear off all of one's counters, of which there were fifteen per player. Hitting a blot (i.e. moving to a point occupied by just one enemy counter so that it has to be removed), re-entering a piece from the bar, and bearing off (removing counters when they have reached the last point), all had the same rules as today. The chief differences from modern backgammon were the use of three rather than two dice, the starting of all pieces off the board (with them entering in the same way that pieces on the bar enter in modern backgammon), and no doubling cube (which was introduced in the 1920s). The same word (τάβλη) is still used to refer to backgammon in Greece today, where it remains a popular game played in central village squares (plateias) and coffee houses. The tabula of Zeno's time is believed to be a direct descendant of the earlier ancient Roman Ludus duodecim scriptorum ("game of twelve lines" or, better, "game of twelve signs") with that board's middle row of points removed, and only the two outer rows remaining. Ludus duodecim scriptorum used a board with three rows of 12 points each, and the pieces were moved across all three rows according to the roll of three dice. The earliest known mention of the game is in Ovid's Ars Amatoria (The Art of Love) (written between 1 BC and 8 AD). In the 11th century Shahnameh, the Persian poet Ferdowsi credits Burzoe with the invention of the game of nard in the 6th century. He describes an encounter between Burzoe and a Raja visiting from India. The Raja introduces the game of chess, and Burzoe demonstrates nard, played with dice made from ivory and teak. In 1254, Louis IX issued a decree prohibiting his court officials and subjects from playing dice games. While it is mostly known for its extensive discussion of chess, the Alfonso X manuscript Libro de los juegos, completed in 1283, describes rules for a number of dice and tables games. In English, the word "tables" is derived from Latin tabula. Its first use referring to board games documented by the Oxford English Dictionary was circa AD 700. Tables should not be confused with Tafl, an unrelated class of board games (albeit linguistically related) played in medieval Scandinavia. Tâb and tablan (as well as the related games sáhkku and daldøs) may, on the other hand, be descendants of tabula. Europe France Trictrac Trictrac was the classic French tables game of the 17th and 18th centuries in the same way that backgammon that now is in the English-speaking world. There are two main forms of the game, le Grand Trictrac and le Petit Trictrac. Unlike backgammon it is not a race game; rather the main aim is to score points. In Trictrac, the starting point is called a talon, the points, or fleches, are numbered to 12 on both sides of the board, with the 12th point on either side called the coin de repos, or, simply, coin. The 11th point (on either side) is often called le case d'écolier, or 'schoolboy's point' (case meaning 'square', literally) after the tendency of inexperienced players to rush to this point too soon in the game. Statistically, the most difficult points in the game to reach aside from the coins are the 8th points, and they are named les fleches de diable, or 'the Devil's points', for this reason. The home boards are referred to as the jan de retour by either player. Doubles are treated as two identical numbers, unlike backgammon proper. Jacquet Trictrac was superseded by the much simpler game of Jacquet during the 19th century, a race game with a number of distinctive features. First, players circulated the board in the same direction rather than in opposing directions. Second, players could not move the majority of their pieces until the first piece, the 'courier' or 'postilion', had reached the final quadrant. Jacquet was largely ousted by Anglo-American games in the 1960s, but its rules are still published and boards are still manufactured. Tourne Case Tourne Case is another old French tables game and more one of chance than skill. Using a tables board, each player only takes 3 pieces. The aim is to enter them onto the board using the throws of the dice and be first to move all 3 to the 'home corner' (coin de repos) on the 12th point of the board. The men may not pass over one another nor may there be more than one on a point except in the home corner. If a man moves to a point opposite that of an opposing man, the latter is 'hit'. It must be removed from the board and re-entered from the start. Greece and Cyprus In Greece, tables games are called tavli (related to the word tavla, meaning "board" or "table" or "tawleh" from Arabic, and cognate to the Latin tabula). "Tavli" was first described in an epigram of the Byzantine Emperor Zeno (AD 476–481). There are three mainstream different games, portes, plakoto, and fevga: Portes closely resembles backgammon, with minor variations: there is no doubling cube, and a backgammon, i.e when a player wins triple, counts only as a gammon , i.e. winning double (called diplo, Greek for double). Plakoto is very similar to the mahbusa or tapa game. It has some general similarities |

chapters were founded throughout the United States and were significant for organizing Korean immigrants in their fight for Korean sovereignty. The Hemet Valley Incident In 1913, 11 Korean immigrants found work providing extra help with apricot picking in the nearby city of Hemet. Around this time, anti-Japanese and general anti-Asian sentiment was high. The Korean laborers were threatened by white laborers at the Hemet Valley train depot and the Korean laborers fled. The Japanese Association of Southern California urged the consul general of San Francisco to address the incident, arguing that the Korean laborers should be treated as Japanese subjects. The Koreans living in the United States prior to the formal occupation by the Japanese in Korea refused assistance, arguing that they were not Japanese citizens and that the issue was a separate, Korean issue. With concerns surrounding the already strained U.S.-Japan relations (e.g., from the 1913 California Alien Land Law), Secretary of State William Jennings Bryan ordered an investigation into the matter. The president of KNA at the time, David Lee, communicated to Bryan via telegram that the issue was resolved and requested that the United States government end its dealings with the Japanese government regarding Korean immigrants in the United States. Bryan then published a press release announcing that the Hemet Valley Incident was settled, which functionally served as a de facto recognition of the Korean national status of Koreans in the United States. Korean immigrants who arrived in San Francisco were treated as political refugees and were thus able to land. The end of Pachappa Camp In January 1913, California experienced a Great Freeze, which decimated citrus crops within the state. As a result, job opportunities decreased and Koreans were forced to look for work outside of Riverside. Community members relocated to Los Angeles, as well as to Central and Northern California. In January 1918, the Riverside Chapter of the KNA closed. The 1920 U.S. Census showed less than ten Korean families residing in Riverside with none of them living in the settlement site nor in the vicinity. After Korean Americans departed from the site, Pachappa Camp was settled into by Japanese Americans, and later Mexican Americans. In the 1950s, the site was redeveloped for commercial use by oil and gas companies. The site today consists of parking lots, fencing, cinder block buildings, and gas stations. The adjacent railroad track is the sole remaining vestige of the Pachappa Camp settlement. Legacy Pachappa Camp has been recognized as the first Korean settlement in the United States. Though Korean immigration to the United States started in Hawaii, the Korean laborers lived and worked on plantations for at least three to four years before developing their own settlement. Aside from Hawaii, Koreans were also scattered throughout cities like San Francisco, however, they lacked their own distinct neighborhoods. Memorial of Dosan in downtown Riverside In 1999, the Patriot Ahn Chang-Ho Memorial Foundation of Riverside began fundraising efforts for a memorial that recognized Dosan’s legacy and his historical and cultural importance. The Korean government, along with over 400 individuals, raised more than $600,000 and the dedication ceremony took place on August 11, 2001. The memorial is located at 3750 Main Street in downtown Riverside and consists of stamped and colored concrete and landscaping granite, as well as a statue of Dosan. Designation as a Point of Cultural Interest On December 6, 2016, the Riverside City Council voted unanimously to make the site of Pachappa Camp the city’s first Point of Cultural Interest and a sign has been installed at the site, describing the designation and the location's significance. This designation was created for places of significance lacking intact historic buildings. According to Riverside’s Historic Preservation Officer, city officials spent six months researching | Gongnip Hyophoe, also known as “Cooperative Association,” to develop democratic policies and institutions for the future founding of a democratic and independent Korean nation. The association established behavioral guidelines for the Pachappa residents in an effort to maintain cohesion and instill "positive virtues": lights were to be turned off at 9:00pm, Korean women were prohibited from smoking long pipes in the street, residents were not to go outside in undershirts, and white shirts were encouraged whenever possible to give off a "clean appearance." The Korean newspaper, Sinhan Minbo, reported 70 Gongnip Hyophoe members in Riverside in 1905, and 150 in 1907. Gongnip Hyophoe eventually merged with Hapsong Hyophoe (the United Korean Society in Hawaii) and was thereafter known as the Korean National Association (KNA). Headquartered in San Francisco, the KNA provided help to Koreans newly arriving in the mainland United States. KNA chapters were founded throughout the United States and were significant for organizing Korean immigrants in their fight for Korean sovereignty. The Hemet Valley Incident In 1913, 11 Korean immigrants found work providing extra help with apricot picking in the nearby city of Hemet.
