Fencer, where did you find this book of wonders???

can someone come up with an idea as to how to play it? for black at least. white doesn't seem to have it very hard

Call it as you want :-)

You're so right!! We say a lot of things differently! It feels more natural to me to say it as 'tab-loo', I might stick with that if it doesn't offend anyone!

hrlqns: it doesnt sound strange, it is a typical pronunciation in my language ;-) tablut has a viking origin, thats way i chose a german pronunciation which is similar to pronunciation in czech. you can say "tabloo" if you want, english has its modification for everything, because english has very different pronunciation to other languages...

stromovous.. so you'd say the 'ut' like the end of 'put'? Sounds strange! It would sound much nicer said as 'tabloo', silent 't'!!!
Thanks, saves me wondering!!!

hrlqns: Just "tablut" with "a" like in the english word "class" and with "u" like in the english word "put".

Does anyone know how you pronounce Tablut? Is it "tab - loo" or "tay - blue", or even "tab - loot"?

Yes, you can move over. It doesn't work? What is the game ID?

Hey Fencer! The rules now say you CAN move over the centre square! Is that right?! Have you changed them? Because in the game I played I couldn't move over it to the other side...

The rules will be updated ASAP :-)

OK, OK, I didn't read the rules well enough!! LOL!! My own fault, I'll chalk it up to experience!!!

I'll add it to rules although I agree with Kevin :-)

yeah but not stated!! I found out the hard way!!

I think that is implied! :-)

In the rules it says once a king has left his throne no piece may occupy that spot.
What the rules DON'T say is that no piece may even pass over the centre square!! :o(

Is it? That's good :-) I've got a book of more ancient games so I'll try to implement the ones which are interesting.

What a great game!
