Foteviken Tablut 9x9

Post by dashstofsk » Sat Mar 20, 2021 9:26 pm

May I request that Foteviken Tablut also be made available on the 'invite for a new game' page? The game balance doesn't appear to be too bad, and the base camp squares promise a novelty that I would like to try.

Foteviken 9x9 game balance +1.48

Ric Snead ("Aluric") as chairman of a tafl group in USA developed an 11x11 variant of the Foteviken.
Ric Snead's version has forbidden corner areas, but with this feature removed, the Aluric Foteviken 11x11 works better than 9x9 and has a measured game balance of 1.00

Where can I find the definitive rules for Aluric Foteviken 11x11? I couldn't see any mention of this variant on your web site, and how can you be certain that the balance really is 1.00? I can't see it on the game balances page.

You can find the games with this function (Foteviken tafl 11x11):

- and I remembered wrong, the forbidden corner squares are still there.

I would like to try Aluric Foteviken 11x11. If you could make it available on the 'invite a game' page then I will add an invitation.
