- No comment on it, but it is available commercially in a package of six
- games called _The Best of Dragon Games_ from TSR. It was published in
- Dragon #128 (Dec, 87), for those who just want to hunt up the back
- issue and find the rules. It's called _King's Table_, which I believe
- is a translation of Hneftafl - not sure.
