With this update we introduce the Search function which allows to search for ranked matches of any player and variant. Ever wanted to know how someone beat the attackers in Ard Ri? You can check it now. More search filters will be added with later updates. The matchbrowser will now also highlight variants that are deemed unbalanced. New players should avoid them or at least know what to expect. Here is the full changelog:
- Custom piece designs will now show the correct name. For real this time.
- Fixed some translation issues in the custom rules creation dialog.
- The time contingent display will now stop the countdown if the match ended.
- Variants that are deemed as unbalanced will now be marked as such in the match browser and match history.
- Local matches will now default to Historical Hnefatafl for new players as it is one of the easier ones to learn.
- Custom tournaments (non-knockout) won't offer the tree view options anymore as it wouldn't work anyway.
- Added the option to search for matches using different filters (two swords at the top).
- If a matchmaking game has been deleted (or joined by someone else) right before you select it, a better message will now be shown.

"Hnefatafl"-Linux [265.85 M]
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!
All variants can be played online or offline against bots or fellow humans. Even the custom variants.
