About This Game

BoardMoot makes it possible to play ancient boardgames like Hnefatafl, Fidchell, Xiangqi, Fanorona, Surakarta and Wehrschach offline and online. 

Hnefatafl is an ancient Scandinavian boardgame whose variants have been played all over Europe way before Chess was even invented. In those so called Tafl games two differently sized armies fight against each other. The black invaders try to capture the white king while the defenders try to clear a path for their King's escape.

The game comes with many variants and even supports to create your own - over 200,000 different variants are possible!

Fidchell is Nigel Suckling's recreation of the ancient Irish classic: On a round board on circular tracks move and capture pieces their enemies, similar to Hnefatafl. Clever strategies allow powerful chained moves that lay waste to the enemy.

Xiangqi is the Chinese predecessor of Chess. Two generals lead their armies into the battle while they control their forces from their fortress - protected by their loyal guards. Cannons dominate the battlefield while elephants create chaos and the brave infantry marches forward.

Fanorona is the traditional boardgame from Madagascar. All stones are equal and capture enemies the same way: by moving towards them or away from them - even allowing them additional moves if they lead to more captures. With such clever chained moves a single pieces can clear half the board within seconds. One tiny mistake and everything is lost... or won.

Surakarta originates from Indonesia and offers an exciting twist: pieces move to adjacent junctions but can't capture that way. To capture an enemy they have to move along the outer loops which allows them to move as far as they want creating an interesting challenge.

Wehrschach is the combination of classical Chess and modern warfare: Infantry, tanks, planes and artillery. Rivers block movement and roads accelerate it. And way more important: to capture an enemy piece two of your own are required. Because a single unit can't achieve anything on a modern battlefield.
