Tablut is an ancient Tafl game where the black player has to try and capture the white players king, while the white player has to get their king to safety by getting him to the corner of the board. Players can move their pieces as many squares as they want providing they don't jump over a current piece. To capture an enemy piece you must have two of your pieces on either side of an opposing piece. One exception to this is to capture the king you must surround it on all four sides.
After playing several games of Tablut I quite enjoyed it. However one downside that I did find with the game was that the black player could block of the escape points and were in a position where they couldn't be captured. This means that nobody could win the game.
