Based on Hnefatafl
"Save the King" is based on the medieval board game "Hnefatafl". If you're playing with the King's Guards (blue player), your objective is to take the King to a safe location (one of the corner squares). If you're one of the Bandits (red player), you must engage the guards and trap the King. There is an excelent description of the rules (including pictures) at http://www.netspeed.com.au/saffie/board.html.
While creating this version, I decided to change a couple of the original Hnefatafl's rules:
Although this version only includes a standard two players mode, I'm planning on including a computer-controlled player in future versions. I'd love to hear what your tactics are, in order to make the computer player a skilled opponent. Please e-mail me at pedrohsa@hotmail.com
Since I'm still developing this game, user feedback is extremely important! Please e-mail any comments, suggestions or bug reports to pedrohsa@hotmail.com
