About This

• Fight For Your King - Test your wits with Hnefatafl, a two player abstract strategy game for fans of traditional board games like chess. This authentic viking game was a favorite medieval board game of Norse warriors and European fighters of the Dark Ages
• Valhalla Awaits - Hnefatafl is an asymmetric game, which means each player's win condition is different. One player controls the King and his defenders, trying to escort the King safely off the board. The other player controls a legion of frost giants intent on capturing the King
• Fit For a Thane - Our Hnefatafl set features 37 beautiful faceted wood pieces, and the game board is fully hand illustrated. Measuring 10.5 inches square and featuring art of the famed and feared World Serpent, the single-piece game board doesn't require a fold, which creates a perfectly smooth play surface with no crease
• Train the New Generation - Hnefatafl is appropriate for Vikings 8 and up. Printed instructions are included, or check out the "How to Play" video to learn the game in less than 2 minutes
• Ragna-rock On - Hnefatafl is inspired by a long heritage of strategy board games, and in turn as inspired countless more. A viking chess game makes a great gift for fans of unique chess sets and cool chess boards
