Tablut*
Tablut, also known as the "Oldenburger Königsspiel," is a traditional Tafl game played on a 9×9 grid. One player controls the shields while the other commands the swords. The objective for the sword player is to capture the top shield, while the shield player must create a safe path for the top shield to escape from the board. Game pieces can move any number of spaces in a straight line and are captured when sandwiched between two opposing pieces.
