NorsePlay challenges Jackson Crawford to Crossbows & Catapults.

In his annual April Fool's Day video for 2021 CE, Old Norse Philologist Jackson Crawford uses some vintage plastic Vikings figures from the 1983 CE Lakeside Games classic Crossbows & Catapults, which happens to be one of our favourite boardgames:


So we left this comment as an open challenge:

5:02 Crossbows & Catapults Viking figures!?! Jackson, we have to holmgang over that boardgame. Yes, I'm calling you out. Caroms & rubberbands at high noon. Let's do this! norseplay.blogspot.com

[Commented on The Kittredge Runestone (April Fools Day 2021) video.]


It's been a year since I issued this draw-the-square challenge, but no response (though I did receive a reply regarding a Map Of Midgard mappoint inquiry in the interim, so there was that).

This technical default totally makes NorsePlay more drengr. Yep, I said that Jackson! Get in that fancy truck and drive down from your AZ brother's house to Tucson to prove me wrong! Loser buys the mead and can use the excuse that Odin picked him for Valhǫll, so it'll be a win-win either way.

Guillermo Maytorena IV knew there was something special in the Norse Lore when he picked up a copy of the d'Aulaires' Norse Gods and Giants at age seven. Since then he's been fascinated by the truthful potency of Norse Mythology, passionately read & studied, embraced Ásatrú, launched the Map of Midgard project, and spearheaded the neologism/brand NorsePlay. If you have employment/opportunities in investigative mythology,  field research, or product development to offer, do contact him.
