Properly a board for the playing of a game. But the word seems also used of a game played on such a board: cf. the use of the word tables at a later timeThe word seems to denote also a die used in playing a game. What was the precise nature of the games, to which this word and related forms are applied, does not appear; some of the references below would imply that games of chance are meant, and this would be in keeping with the love of gaming which Tacitus, Germ. c. 24, noticed among the Germans. But games of skill like chess may sometimes be meant. In Icelandic tafl is used of chess or draughts, as well as of dicing, and the Danes in England seem to have played chessAmong the Welsh, too, was a game something like draughts, called tawlbwrdd
