Brandubh is an ancient Celtic game and is apparently already 1500 years old. It was mentioned in countless Celtic legends and also in an Irish legend. Who will emerge victorious from this battle? Because here a king and his 4 followers face the 8 wild robbers.
An unequal battle?
It was an important part of courtly life and the training of young noblemen. Even King Arthur played it! It is also often referred to as the predecessor of Hnefatafl. This game was obviously a symbol of the world for the Celts and had a deep meaning. As this game had an inherent magical action for the Celts, it was also played by druids for this purpose. We refer here to the rules of Matthew Allan Newsome, as the original rules of the game have not been handed down. There are a number of rule variants for this game.
Our board games are burnt onto leather, making them durable. And the game almost packs itself for transport. The only thing you have to do is press the game down slightly with one finger in the centre of the playing field, pull the string and the game has already packed itself. It should stay that way for transport. So all you have to do now is push the bead up to the bag that has just formed and the game is packed ready for travelling. The games can be used in this way on hikes, on bike tours, in the car or even on long flights. The games are packed so small that the pocket of a jacket is sufficient to take this pleasant form of entertainment with you.
