Hnefatafl

Journey to Valhalla: Master the Ancient Viking Game of Hnefatafl!

Hnefatafl, a captivating Scandinavian board game predating chess, saw variations played across medieval Europe. This "Tafl" game pits two armies of differing sizes against each other: black invaders seeking to capture the white king, and white defenders striving to protect and escape with their king.

Often called the Vikings' Game, Hnefatafl evokes historical scenarios like the Muscovite invasion of Sweden or Viking raids on Britain. Yet, the core remains constant: the thrilling king hunt.

Despite simple rules, Hnefatafl offers deep strategic possibilities and rewards tactical prowess. Outmaneuver your opponent, set traps, and force a surrender. Will you claim victory and the king's riches? Or will the loyal guards safeguard their king's escape?

Play offline or online, creating custom game variations – over 200,000 possibilities exist!
