What is Tablut?
Tablut is a variation of an ancient and mysterious
board game, called hnefatafl or tafl. Although tafl
was first played hundreds of years ago by the
Vikings, many civilizations throughout history have
played variations of the game; nonetheless, all
versions share common characteristics.
Even though the tafl games predate chess by centuries
their principles are very similar. Two players
compete on a square game board; one player controls
the king’s army, the other, the invading army. The
goal is simple: the king must be safely moved to a
corner space on the board in order to escape the
invasion. On the other hand, the invading army must
capture the king by surrounding him on four sides.
The game pieces are moved vertically or horizontally
across the game board, similar to the rook in chess.
A piece is captured when it is surrounded by enemy
pieces on two apposing sides.
