	ANGLO-SAXON TÆFL BOARD GAME (tæfl, tafl, cyningtæfl, cyningtafl, hnefatafl, tavl) - B. Slade
		The common Germanic Tafl is a development of the Roman game latrunculi ('soldiers').
		One Norse source, the Hauksbók from the 14th century, presents a riddle which is paradoxically (and anachronistically) a clue to the basic rules of tafl:
		The word hnefatafl itself is a compilation of hnefa, genitive of hnefi, and tafl, which is the Old Norse word for board (again, originally borrowed from the Latin word tabula with the same meaning).

		However, the term tafl was most commonly used to refer to a game known as hnefa-tafl or "King's Table."[4] Hnefatafl was known in Scandinavia before 400 A.D. and was carried by the Vikings to their colonies in Iceland, Greenland, Britain, Ireland and Wales.
		Tafl was played on the intersections (as in Pente or Go), not on the squares, however most people I've played with in the Current Middle Ages have a difficult time with the board laid out this way.
		Tafl in all its variants is a simple game to learn, yet requiring skill, tactics and sharp wits to master.

	Tafl: An Obsession (Site not responding. Last check: )
		While chess had displaced tafl in most other places, in 1587 Robert ap Ifan wrote a description of a game called tawlbwrdd, which was still played in Wales at that time.
		The last historical instance of tafl was recorded by Linnaeus in 1732, while he was on a tour of Lapland.
		It is from these rules that most of our knowledge of tafl comes, and when variants are reconstructed for which little evidence survives, rules are often borrowed from Linnaeus's account to fill in the gaps.

		Games of the Tafl family are distinguished by the unequal size of the opposing forces.

		The first probable reference to an ancestor of the game is that of Hala-Tafl, the Fox Game which is mentioned in the Icelandic saga 'Grettis' which is believed to have been written after AD 1300 by a priest living in the North of the country.

	Tafl -- Brief Reconstruction
		Tafl, like so many period games, appears to have been more a family of games than one specific one.

	The Tafl Games
		I have indicated elsewhere in these pages that I regard the games of a people as a microcosm of their culture; or, at least, facets of their culture.
		Seldom have I felt this idea to have greater application than in the tafl games, for they reflect a salient feature of warfare as it was practiced in northern Europe, prior to the 11th century.
		And so we come to the game tafl, which is a nearly perfect model of this sort of conflict.
