New here. Hello all.
Drawn into the game via Tablut, learning to really enjoy Copenhagen Hnefatafl now.
Obviously I'm still quite bad at the game but looking for resources to improve my play.

Hello!
May I introduce myself. In the middle of the night in the empty hours of the dark I stumbled over hnefatafl searching for early harps the anglo saxon type. I know the game but had no idea that there is a still played variant the fetlar not to say the historic variants with rules reconstructed to allow to play a reasonable balanced game. I prefer the fetlar and the historic variants as brandubh and the tongue knotting tawlbrwdd. I just play tafl for about five days, against the computer so I'm a rather weak player. But at the medium level I always win, guess those programs aren't very strong. My handle is feadan my name is Jörg. Besides hnefatafl I enjoy playing the tinwhistle and the plucked psaltery. Although living at the easternmost edge of Berlin, Germany I'm an outdoor guy and by the way I agree with kratzer. I don't like it very much.

Hello,
I discovered this game times ago and did a version (Tablut) for Second Life (3D Metaverse).
I played with my kids and I really like this game with so simple rules.
I would like to improve my skills and maybe develop an online version to have fun with.

Hej !
I am a french reenactor from France in a company called DREKAR. We came to Lejre in 2015 and met Aage !
We are playing Hnefatafl for several years but we are searching for balanced rules. The king is so difficult to stop...
Regards.

Hello, I'm Kate from Oxford UK. I play as fireflo.
I found Hnefatafl because of The Last Kingdom tv series and I re-read LOTR recently too, which has made me a bit obsessed with the Anglo-Saxons.
I'm really enjoying the game. I think all the variations make it really fascinating. If there are any meet ups irl in the UK I'd love to know about them.
Hit me up for a game anytime.
