Description
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.

house_of_fortune with game pieces
House of Fortune
House of fortune is an old southern German game that probably dates back to the 15th century. At the time of the Landsknechte, many a warrior lost his pay playing this game. Gambling was forbidden at the time, which is why people met in secret. It is said that the owner of the game board made an agreement with the captain of the mercenaries: at a secret signal, the latter would enter the illegal players' tent at the time when there was as much money as possible on the board. To avoid being caught, the game and the money had to disappear quickly. The other players had to make a quick getaway and nobody could claim their coins. The captain was given a share of the spoils.

Kono with game pieces
Kono
Kono is a Korean game for two players in which, just like Halma, the players must try to move their own pieces to the opposite side of the board. The aim here is not to capture your opponent's pieces, but simply to move them in such a way that you reach your goal faster and block your opponent's moves as much as possible. The instructions for the board game "Seega" are included with this game. So you have two in one.

Twelve Men's Morris
Twelve Men`s Morris or Armenian Morris
This ancient game has probably been known in Europe for over 4000 years. Finds have been documented from around 2000 BC in Ireland, for example. This makes the mill game not only one of the oldest known board games, but also older than the world-famous game of chess. However, many people don't realise this: There are numerous variations of the mill game, e.g. this Armenian mill has additional diagonals and each of the two players is given 12 pieces at the start of the game.

You receive a playing field in the colour of your choice and the corresponding tiles in the desired colours. In addition, we add one tile per colour as a replacement.
