Journey to Valhalla with the Ancient Viking Game, Hnefatafl!
Hnefatafl, a captivating Scandinavian board game predating chess, saw variations played across medieval Europe. This "Tafl" game pits two armies of unequal size against each other: black invaders seeking to capture the white king, and white defenders striving to protect and escape with their king.
Often dubbed the Vikings' Game, Hnefatafl evokes historical narratives, from Muscovite incursions into Sweden to Viking raids on Britain. Yet, the core remains constant: the king's pursuit.
Despite simple rules, Hnefatafl offers deep strategic depth, rewarding tactical prowess. Outmaneuver opponents, anticipate moves, set traps, and force surrender. Will you claim victory and riches by capturing the king? Or will the loyal guards repel the invasion and ensure the king's escape?
Play offline or online, creating custom game variations—with over 200,000 possibilities!
Enjoy cross-platform play (iOS, Windows, Linux), using a single account across devices. Asynchronous multiplayer lets you play at your convenience.
Valhalla awaits!
