Ard Ri is a variant of the game Hnefatafl, or simply Tafl, which is one of the oldest games in the world - traced in various versions to the Vikings, Welsh, Saxons, and Irish. It is rare in that it is one of the few games that comprises of two unequal sides. Ard Ri is played on a smaller board and with fewer pieces than standard Hnefatafl and it is one of the most challenging forms of the game. In Ard Ri the defending side comprises eight soldiers and a king, who start the game in the centre of the board. Their objective is for the king to escape by reaching any of the four corner squares. The attackers comprise sixteen soldiers positioned in four groups of four around the perimeter of the board. Their objective is to take the King. All pieces move like the Rook in chess and pieces are taken by "sandwiching" i.e. moving your piece so that an opponent's piece is trapped horizontally or vertically between two of yours. Unlike other versions of Hnefatafl, in Ard Ri the defending side starts first.
Ard Ri is associated with the Scottish Highlands with Ard Ri meaning 'High King' in Irish Gaelic. 'Irish Gaelic' you may ask? Well Scot's Gaelic is part of the same linguistic family and in fact comes from Ireland.
There's a really good description of the game and outline of its rules over at:

Hnefatafl sets often contained intricately carved pieces and beautifully decorated boards and this is what we've tried to create here, taking inspiration from traditional designs and the iconic Uig Chessmen. I say we, because the board was actually created by my girlfriend Dot, who as it turns out has a bit of a talent for cheese-slope mosaics. All I contributed was the structure and pieces.
This set forms part of this year's www.bricktothepast.com collection, England, 793. The main piece of the collection is on display over summer 2016 at the Rheded Centre in Penrith.

Encargado en 1900 por Francisco González, Alcalde de Ceuta entre 1897 y 1903, en colaboración con su hermano Ricardo, el edificio fue diseñado por el valenciano arquitecto José M. Cortina Pérez y se terminó en 1905.
Pérez fue un arquitecto ecléctico que diseñó la parte inferior del edificio de piedra artificial , y como plato fuerte adornaba la azotea con bronce dragones . La casa está en la esquina de Paseo de Camoens y Millán Astray en la calle Plaza de los Reyes.
El edificio estaba destinado a tomar el nombre de los hermanos cerni González, pero llegó a ser conocido como la Casa de los Dragones. Se trata de un nombre similar a uno de los arquitectos 1.901 obras en su ciudad natal de Valencia que se llama el edificio de los Dragones La casa Valencia también incorpora dragones, aunque de manera más sutil, que también da esa casa su nombre.
Los siguientes propietarios de la casa son los hijos de Ricardo cerni González. El español Falange partido tenÃa sus oficinas aquà después de la revolución de 1936. La casa fue vendida en 1946. La fachada fue reparado a expensas de Salomón Benhamu Roffé en 1973 y 1996.
Los dragones originales fueron retirados en 1925 y perdieron, [4] pero cuatro nuevos dragones ha sido diseñado por Antonio Romero Vallejo. Hecho en gran parte de resina y fibra de vidrio que se pinta para aparecer bronce, los nuevos dragones en consecuencia un peso inferior a 200 kg cada uno. Se instalaron y abrieron formalmente en noviembre de 2006. [8]
Vallejo es un artista local que nació en 1958. También es responsable por el Homenaje de bronce a la artillerÃa que está fuera de las murallas de la Avenida MartÃnez Catena en Ceuta.
