This update brings a lot of new options for custom variants. Capture all enclosed enemies at once or change the way berserking works. Five new layouts may offer complete new experiences. Besides that the display of local matches in the main menu has been improved and some minor bugs fixed. Additionally the timeout for online matches can now be set. While it was fixed at two weeks for each move it can now be set to a minimum of 2 hours for each move, encouraging faster play. Here is the complete list of changes:

  • If the custom option "King gets captured by two except on the throne" is enabled the empty throne won't act as anvil anymore.
  • The state of local matches will now be shown in the main menu.
  • The name of the used custom variants for local matches will now be shown in the main menu for each match.
  • Added a new 17x17 custom board layout.
  • Added four new 13x13 custom board layouts.
  • New option for custom games: When berserking a piece may not pass an opponent without capturing it.
  • New option for custom games: When berserking a piece may not change the direction it is moving.
  • New option for custom games: Shieldwalls also capture the king.
  • New option for custom games: All pieces that are fully enclosed get captured.
  • For online matches the timeout can now be selected to encourage quicker matches.
  • Variants with Shieldwalls and edge escape can now capture multiple pieces with shieldwalls against the corners of the board.

Hnefatafl is an ancient Scandinavian board game whose variants were played all over medieval Europe before chess was even invented. In those so called Tafl games two different sized armies fight each other. The invading black army tries to capture the white king, while the defending white army tries to protect their king and help him escape.

Often also called the Game of the Vikings Hnefatafl tells many stories, like the Moskowites invasion of Sweden or the Viking hordes pillaging Britain. But no matter what the story is one thing always stays the same: The hunt for the king.

Even though the rules aren't complicated the game offers fascinating strategies and rewards tactical play. Try to surround the enemy pieces, plan ahead, lay traps and force your opponent into surrender. Will you capture the king for gold and glory? Can the loyal guards hold back the invading forces and secure the flight of their king?

You can even create your own custom variants -- with over 200,000 different variants possible -- for online or offline play!
