What is Your Favorite Medieval Game?

Posted on 2009 under Medieval Games | 1 Comment

I’ve been playing Nine Man Morris online for the past week or two – although my computer opponent continually beats me, I have still enjoyed the challange! So what other Medieval era games are out there? I found an SCAdian’s website which has a very nice list of Medieval games along with their history, directions for play, and descriptions of the required equipment. Baron Modar Neznanich of the Kingdom of Calontir (essentially Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, and Missouri) discusses such games as Alquerque, Fierges, Fox and Geese, Nyout and Tablut just to name a few! So . . . which of these games do YOU enjoy?

    My son can pretty regularly beat me at King’s Table! We find it unbalanced in the set we have, the advantage is definitely with the defenders.
