Hnefatafl--those familiar with this old Scandanavian board game will realize I'm missing pieces in this image of one of our boards. The 9 versus 16 ratio belongs to the 9 x 9 Tablut gameboard, rather than Hnefatafl's 11 x 11 board. Truth is, I ran out of resin. We're still deciding which game piece style to go with on our tafl boards.
As much as I like our game pieces, I'm fascinated with an image of authentic Hnefetafl pieces found on Wikipedia, from the Swedish Museum of National Antiquities:
We've played with spherical gamepieces before, and I'm leaning toward that style. We'll try to turn out a few in the next week or so.
