tæfl
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 time ⬩ The word seems to denote also a die used in playing a game.

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 chess ⬩ Among the Welsh, too, was a game something like draughts, called tawlbwrdd
