Thanks for this. Can you do a double take in this game? Shame I can't upload a photo, but I was able to move a piece into a gap, where infront and to the left of the piece was an opposition piece, and then one space further down there was one of my pieces for both of these. So technically, with one move I had blocked in two opposition pieces. Could I take both pieces?
@@AmassGames My ideas for Hnefatafl 11x11 : My rules require D, C, B and A-pieces for black (I name them like that because I've no ideas how to name them). All the symbols (maybe runes, as it's a viking game) of the black pieces are oriented inward the boardgame. Half of D-pieces and half of C-pieces are reversed following the vertical axis of the symbol. Normal D-pieces are on h1, a4, d11 and k8. Reversed D-pieces are on d1, a8, h11 and k4. Normal C-pieces are on g1, a5, e11 and k7. Reversed C-pieces are on e1, a7, g11 and k5. B-pieces are on f1, a6, f11 and k6. A-pieces are on f2, b6, f10 and j6. For white pieces, there are X-pieces and Y-pieces (don't know how to name them). X-pieces are on d6, f8, h6 and f4. Y-pieces are on e6, f7, g6 and f5. They are oriented following this pattern : X-piece and Y-piece on d6 and e6 are oriented towards the a column ; X-piece and Y-piece on f7 and f8 towards the 11th rank and so on. The symbol of white pieces on e5, e7, g7 and g5 is summarized in two perpendicular lines running along the sides adjacent to the Y-pieces. Do you want to know more?
@@AmassGames What do you mean by that? I can't make videos about my rules because there are no pieces of hnefatafl like these ones on the market (square-shaped pieces with symbols on them). I rely on people like you to popularize my ideas.
I don't quite get it - if the black attackers have just positioned a second or third piece around the king, it would then be the white king's turn to move, so the king could just move out of danger. Why would the king stand motionless and not move as he slowly gets surrounded, by 1, 2, 3 and finally 4 pieces. What am I missing?
Appreciate your swift response, but still, at the very moment that a third attacker surrounds the king, what is to stop the king from moving out of danger on his next move ?
@@AmassGames So basically it's impossible to win as the attacker, because the second the king is surrounded on 3 sides - he simply moves out of danger, time and time again..
