Not sure where to put this but I thought it was interesting.

Go is a fantastic game.
I could have sworn I posted something about this here, but a quick search turned up nothing so maybe I didn't. I do know that I read this article on June 30, 2015 because that's the day I added this game to my Amazon wish list.
Anyway, great find, Marty.
Hnefatafl has been around for over a thousand years and it took a forum post to make me aware of its existence. Thanks, Marty! O0

to be fair - you could replace
Hnefatafl with "Windigo" and the meaning wouldn't change much
I actually have an old DOS-based version of a Tafl-game in my physical game copy hoard somewhere.
But then you all knew I would, didn't you. ;)
there's a Dragon Magazine version

Someone get Steam Early Access on this, stat! O0
Until then (from the article): "President Obama has the personality of a sniper." Discuss?

Wrong thread :)
Well, I didn't mean discuss here, duh. Should've been clearer, sorry.
(Just seemed like something kind of wacky stated by someone interviewed in the article.)
Nice find. O0 I'd never heard of that game.
