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

Remi, The multiplayer mode will use a dedicated server. There is also a built in Lan multiplayer mode for playing over a local network. There will also be instructions for setting up your own dedicated server for Internet or Lan play. Here is a new screen shot of the improved menu. The trial version is on schedule for release in about 10 days. We should have a more solid date next week.
