Eric WagonerandClaude Fable 5.1 0d2f54fe02 Hnefatafl: Copenhagen and Tablut, a board that ages with the older game, and a bot that looks three moves ahead

The rules are data in rules.ts; the engine plays custodial capture, the
king's own capture rule on and beside the throne, corner and edge
escape, shieldwalls, edge forts, encirclement, repetition and stalemate;
twenty tests pin them and play a bot game to a verdict on both boards.

Hnefatafl

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

Built on the game kit: src/lib/game/ is the game (rules as data in rules.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.
