Eric WagonerandClaude Fable 5.1 e95a090ac0 A new table plays Tablut unless the host chooses Copenhagen
The declared default on the rules option is now Tablut, listed first, and
the engine plays it when no rules are given, so the hall's still, the
preferences' table default and a bare createGame agree. Tests that read
Copenhagen positions ask for Copenhagen; the Tablut layout test pins the
default.

The Viking board game, in the browser: the attackers must take the king, the king must reach the edge. Tablut, the nine-by-nine game Linnaeus wrote down in 1732, by default, on a board that shows its age; Copenhagen rules on the eleven-by-eleven board, where the king needs a corner, as an option.

Built on the game kit: src/lib/game/ is the game (rules as data in rules.ts, the board's mechanics in board.ts, the engine in index.ts, a short alpha-beta bot in bot.ts), src/lib/components/Board.svelte is the board, and everything else is the kit's hall, tables, gallery, ledgers, reports desk and ops tools. docs/conventions.md is the house style; the guide here departs from it in one way, walking the page in words and one drawn figure rather than screenshots.
