Hnefatafl: Tablut Online - New Game Release
Hnefatafl: Tablut Online Hnefatafl is an ancient board game that dates back more than 1,000 years. This strategic game even predates chess, which is based on Hnefatafl and was originally referred to as Skak-Tafl. Hnafatafl was played by the Scandinavian Vikings as far back as 400 A.D. The Vikings carried the game to Greenland, Iceland, Ireland, Britain, Whales and as far east as the Ukraine. Many of these locations and others adapted their own variations of the Hnefatafl game. Five of these games are playable in Tablut Online, they include; Tablut, Hnefatafl, Ard-Ri, Tawlbyund, and Alea Evangelii. Features: - Unlock up to seven different game boards and game variations. Game boards range in size from 7x7 to 19x19 with pawn layouts variations. Game variations are based on real games played throughout history.
- Play against others over the Internet, a computer opponent, over a local network, or against another person on the same computer.
- Simple game play and emphasis on strategy, makes Tablut ideal for both beginners and advanced players.
- Optional modes of play include game timers, move timers, rules for tie breaking and more.
A free trial version will be available in December 2003 For more information, please visit, http://www.saknet.com/tablut or email mythic@saknet.com

What impresses me most is the originality of your project. This is a beautiful example of the use of 3DGS system IMO! It's also quite original considering most people/post are concerned with FPS or RTS or RPG and such. Finally, being a board game afficionado, I would gladly pay to play this game!!! GLADLY!!!!  Great Job!!!

Thank you all for your positive comments!
Marco, the background will most likely change. While the water and sky does look nice animated in the game, the castle and landscape lacks detail. I expect a new background for the final release.
Crossy, thanks for the spell check.
Rich, thanks as always for keeping my posts active while I hack away in my dungeon  .
Loler, I am interested. I expect a beta to be ready this week and I am sure that we could arrange an interview with myself and Rich. Please forward your email address to me at mythic@saknet.com
To all who are interested, expect a playable trial version in 2-3 weeks.
