Hnefatafl app

If you want to learn how to play chess, there is a vast amount of books available on chess tactics and strategies, openings, end games, etc. In contrast, I am aware of just one book solely dedicated to learning how to play hnefatafl: Jonathon George's "A Kingly Pattern".

Reading about hnefatafl tactics and strategy is one thing, but the best way to learn to play the game is obviously to try and put the theory into practice and play. For this reason, I surfed the web for hnefatafl-playing software, and came across this app:

The app is able to play lots of different variants, historical as well as modern, including hnefatafl, tablut, brandubh, tawlbwrdd, alea evangelii, berserk hnefatafl, tyr hnefatafl, and even magpie. Hnefatafl with the modern Copenhagen and Fetlar rules is also included. For this reason, I picked this particular app over others. The reviews suggest it doesn't have the strongest AI, but that's fine for me for now. I may in time become too strong a player for the AI, but I'll cross that bridge if and when I get there!
