+Hnefatafl is a Norse board game that has been played in Scandinavia
+since at least 400 A.D..
-Hnefatafl (with any board setup) and tablut are fully supported using
-rulesets. Other regional variants are partly supported.
+This is an implementation written in C. The game rules are defined with
+ruleset files and are therefore somewhat flexible. There is a computer
+player and an X interface, but both are optional. Network play is not
+supported.
-The program has CLI and XLib interfaces. You can play hotseat or versus
-a computer player, but network play is not supported.
-
-To compile the program without XLib, invoke the script with
-LINK_XLIB=no in the environment, e.g.
- LINK_XLIB=no ./hnefatafl.SlackBuild
-
-Nearly all settings are compile-time options that can be changed in
-`config.mk`, including language and the amount of memory that the
-computer player may use for hashing.
