Release 3.28

With this release we added support for the Steam Workshop to ease the installation of new boards and pieces. If you want to create and upload boards and pieces yourself, you can now download the Hnefatafl Workshop Uploaded which is available in your library in the Tools section. It includes a readme document which explains the workflow. If you have any questions just visit the forums and ask away. Besides this addition here is the changelog of this update:

  • Improved the repetition detection algorithm. It had some false positives.
  • Added Steam Workshop support for custom boards and pieces.
  • Matchmaking games and Invitations for matches that haven't started yet can now be deleted via long click in the main menu.
  • When chaining moves in an online Berserk match they can now all be undone before submitting them instead of just the last part of the chain.
  • Corrected the OTG export for Berserk moves.

  • Public Linux depots

  • 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!
