The goal of this is to...?

[captainkink]

It's a strategy game. Capture the king to win.

[trickor]

For...both players?

[captainkink]

Yep. We both have kings.

[trickor]

Strange.

[captainkink]

Why is that?

[trickor]

In tafl, the game is determined by the capture or escape of the king.

[captainkink]

Yeah, and?

[trickor]

There is but one king.

[captainkink]

Not for this game.

[trickor]

Hm.

[captainkink]

What?

[trickor]

The differences are interesting.

[captainkink]

Your chance to try something new.

[trickor]

Well, yes.

[captainkink]

It'll be fun, I promise.

[trickor]

I'll take your word for it.

[captainkink]

Awesome.

[trickor]

[brings it back to the Hnefatafl board]

There, in the center. Do you see? That is the king.

[captainkink]

I see it.

[trickor]

The king is safe once he should reach one of the corners.

[captainkink]

Cool. Sort of like checkers.

[trickor]

And it is the goal of the attacker to surround the king so that he cannot.

[captainkink]

Not bad.

[trickor]

Games of strategy oft do involve a king.
