+Hnefatafl is the Norse board game. It has been played in Scandinavia
+since at least 400 AD.
+
+Hnefatafl (with any board setup) and tablut are fully supported using
+rulesets. Other regional variants are partly 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.
