I'm pondering making myself a board that'll work as a gameboard for nine man morris on one side and something else on the other over the summer.

I'm pondering making myself a board that'll work as a gameboard for nine man morris on one side and something else on the other over the summer.

Hnefetafl. That's what I've put on the other side of my Nine Mens Morris board. Actually I put NMM on the back of my hnefetafl board, and one day I'll get sufficient of the right green perle cotton to finish the dragons around the edges...

Absolutely! Hnefatafl works. Just got to pull up an image of how that board looks again :) Beads I can get cheaply at a DIY type/artist's supply store or even a garden centre.

Or tablero!

You need so many little shot glasses for tablero... It's 8x8 for that, right?

7x7

You know myladyswardrobe and her husband live in a real late 14th century house. Of course there has been som rebuilding in the 16th or 17th century (it was originally at least two houses, maybe three):)
It is absolutely lovely.

I do know, and I am jealous :)

Of course, looking at the building pics of the one above I see it's only one story plus loft... if I were to have a house like that I'd scale it all up a bit for two stories I think.
