Re: Saami Tablut

Answering a very old post here, but: - Language issues: Finding Sámi people who spoke Norwegian or Swedish as a second language was not difficult for Linnaeus, and indeed his diary mentions several instances of him being in direct communication with Sámi. Sámi people have had to relate to non-Sámi a...

Re: I've started to draw a few graphics for aagenielsen.dk

Sáhkku is not a viking game. It is both likely to be much younger than the viking age, and it is Sámi game and not a Norse game. So Viking-esque pieces would be very inappropriate for Sáhkku. Even though they're pretty designs, in my opinion this is very unadvisable.

...I wasn't quite satisfied with the castle symbol in the Drum design, so here's a new version of that.

Re: I've started to draw a few graphics for aagenielsen.dk

The second design is inspired by the goavddis, Sámi ritual drums, sometimes called "shaman's drums". They were made on reindeer skin and decorated with the red of alder tree bark. I used drawings of drums that are registered as being from the Lule Sámi area, e.g. the area where Linnaeus wrote down t...

Re: I've started to draw a few graphics for aagenielsen.dk

I've made two different variants of the board. The first is inspired by traditional Sámi ornaments. - The castle is inspired by a type of Sámi sun symbol. - The illustration of the captured king uses a pattern known from other traditional Sámi games (riebangárdi, cuhkka - cf. https://result.uit.no/r...

Re: I've started to draw a few graphics for aagenielsen.dk

SAAMI TABLUT Quick recap in English: I took inspiration from Linnaeus' drawings and notes from the 1700s' Lule Sámi area (more on that here: https://result.uit.no/reaidu/velkommen/helse-mat-og-fritid/fritid/brettspill-og-lek/brettspill/tablut/). - Linnaeus says that a reindeer skin was used for the ...
