## From the page (probably an excerpt, not Jamie's words)

At first glance, Hnefatafl (prounounced nef-ah-tah-fel) might just look like a knock-off version of chess with Norse helms and impressive beards, but the game is at least 600 years olderalready well-known by 400 A.D.and is perhaps a lot more relevant to the conflicts of the 21st century.
