Re: Sahkku, Rules
Received from Erik Østergaard, Denmark: ... Egentlig opfatter jeg Daldøs som en overfortolkning af et grundlæggende forhold mellem kast og sektionslængde ved Tab-spil. Ideelt set bestemmes antal felter pr. sektion af det højeste kast med terningerne. Så (4+4)x2=16 felter. Ved fx indiske kvadratiske ...

Re: Daabloe and Cuhkka
Saami Dablo was tested with mandatory capture, and "Brave-Frog", Ukraine, discovered that this makes the game impossible, because the king is inevitably captured in the first three moves, presuming the handed down setup of pieces: http://aagenielsen.dk/dablo/dabloReplay.php?netspil1x=32315f323137353...

Re: Saami Tablut
Tablut and Tawlbwrdd game balance. The game balances are calculated for four groups of players, divided by strength: All players, Strong players, Very strong players, and Ultra strong players. Linné does not tell which side begins in Saami Tablut 9x9 . If black (attackers) begin in Tablut, the bala...

Re: General rules
Another note on the possible corner capture rule discussed 2018. Such a rule is actually described for several ancient board games closely related to tafl. The Roman Ludus Latrunculi is considered to be a predecessor of the tafl games. The Greek Petteia is considered to be a predecessor of Ludus La...

Re: Sahkku, Rules
Copied from the small forum Oct. 30th 2022: Draganov: @Hagbard, I joined Thomas's invitation to play Daldos 3x12 and saw that we both started the game with three active pieces. Is this a new variant?
