| 2010-08-14 14:27:04 Adam: Hello forum. I think its time to start off another forum discusion. I've been playing Hjuke at the 9x9 trebeta rules, and must admit im undecided as to the rule set being balanced or not. One thing I would say though, is that in board games we find a simple model of the world, and so any rule ought to correspond with something in the reality that the game represents. The pieces represent soldiers or military units clearly enough. The throne is a starting point, affording varying degrees of castle-like protection according to rule set. the corners represent escape routes, or friendly safehavens. As safe havens it makes sense that they would be hostile only to attackers. But I would have expected this to be the case in all variants. My personal conclusion is that rule variations are useful to handicap stronger players in uneven matches, much as in the japanese game Go. To have so many rule variants otherwise makes the tafl game family unweildy and somehow unsatisfying. I find this particularly the case with alterations to the kings squares rules. Altering rules according to need to handicap makes the changes more meaningful. Id like to hear what other players think about this interesting and onging problem. |

John C. Ashton in USA did an interesting analysis directly from one of the historic sources, the Latin diary of Carl von Linné from his excursion to Lapland in Sweden, 1732, where Linné found and described the Sami board game called Tablut, a descendant of the at that time lost Viking game Hnefatafl. Ashton suspected the Hnefatafl game rules in Anglo-American countries to be erroneous due to a chain of translation errors and misunderstandings. Therefore Ashton started over again with a fresh translation of the Latin text of Linné. The research article and findings of John C. Ashton were published in the journal The Heroic Age, read the article, Linnaeus's Game of Tablut and its Relationship to the Ancient Viking Game Hnefatafl, here. |

On the Viking longship Sea Stallion: The Sea Stallion is an accurate copy of a 30 metres Viking longship with 60 oars and 65 men. In 2007 the ship sailed from Roskilde in Denmark to Dublin in Ireland, and in 2008 the ship returned to Roskilde. The crew on board came from Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Ireland, UK, Germany, Netherlands, USA, Canada and New Zealand.
Here are photos from the arrival of the Sea Stallion to Roskilde after a voyage of 4800 kilometers.
