These photos marks the conclusion of the Backgammon theme in our Shab Khosh series. We’d chosen this theme because Backgammon has been a favorite Persian pastime for thousands of years and to this day you be sure to find a set in most Iranian households. We will announce the new Shab Khosh theme on our Instagram page on Monday, January 12, 2014. Send in your photos and don’t forget to check in every night on Instagram, let’s keep the momentum going! Note: Shab Khosh (meaning Goodnight) is the name of series of photos that we sign off with on weeknights. The photos in this series are submitted by our readers and correspond to specific themes that we announce periodically. This has been a very rewarding journey for all of us, and we encourage you to explore #ShabKhosh (on Instagram) to view all the photos we’ve featured so far.
