This update adds the option to use bigger corners (2x2 tiles) in 19x19 variants. If this works well it will be integrated into the Legacy Alea Evangelii variant, which should make it a bit easier for the defender. It is now also possible to manage the ignore list yourself. This can be done via the match browser or the player search when creating a new online match. Ignored players won't be shown in the match browser anymore and will also be unable to join our games or invite your (and vice versa). The ELO list in the main menu can now also be filtered by variant. There is currently no way to change the ELO display below the avatars shown throughout the app. This might be added in a future update. The full changelog:
- Custom Variants: It is not possible anymore to create variants where the corner tiles are initially occupied with black pieces. They default to edge escape now.
- Custom Variants: Added the option to use big corners (2x2 tiles) in 19x19 variants with corner escape rules. This is still considered experimental.
- By clicking the avatar of an opponent when watching the details of a match in the match browser the user's details screen can now be opened.
- The player stats button can now be used to add and remove players from the ignore list. Ignored player's matches won't be shown in the match browser anymore and invites will be automatically declined.
- Added two new 11x11 custom board layouts.
- Added a new 13x13 custom board layout.
- Added a new 15x15 custom board layout.
- Added a new 19x19 custom board layout.
- The ELO List can now filter by variant.
- When reopening the app while watching a match will now automatically reload the status from the server instead of only relying on the notifications.
- Custom Variants: The option that a tile can't be passed if it would lead to a capture has been changed a bit: The king may ignore this rule if it leads to his escape.
- Added three new Avatar variations.

"Hnefatafl"-Linux [265.85 M]
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?
