I played with a friend 11x11 king unarmed. King shell get in the corner.

Cleaning up the Grandmaster list? Everything has a start. If you are the only player in the world to play a certain game, logically you are the best player in the world and the World Champion. Later with hundreds of players it's not so easy. The very first World Championship tournament 2008 on the ...

Some considerations on the Hnefatafl Grandmaster title. At present there is but one route to the Hnefatafl Grandmaster title: to win one of the annual World Championship tournaments. Gradually it will therefore become more and more difficult for new players to win the title, as every year an existi...

Can we state this in the rules. Currently it says, “unless they trap an enemy piece between themselves and one of their own men“.

Yule is approaching fast in a month. 1941 and 1945 Frans G. Bengtsson wrote two books, "Røde Orm". They have been translated into English, "The Long Ships". In the novels is a narrative of a Yule celebration at the residence of king Harald Bluetooth. I have the Danish version only, and the fighting ...

November 2018 I brought the tafl game to the Nordic Game Day, but unfortunately there seemed to be little interest for the classic board game, as the guests concentrated only on "modern board game" style games.

October 2018 Hnefatafl was again presented at the Classic Board Game café. The other games were this time Daldøs, Trax, Nine Men's Morris, Othello (Reversi), 9x9 Go, Kalaha, Wari/Awalé/Oware, Quoridor, Checkers, Frisian Checkers and Catch The Lion. This time the Saami Tablut (Historical Hnefatafl 9x...
