Features Hnefatafl
Hnefatafl is an ancient Scandinavian board game whose variants were played all over medieval Europe before chess was even invented.
In those so called Tafl games two different sized armies fight each other.
The invading black army tries to capture the white king, while the defending white army tries to protect their king and help him escape.Often also called the Game of the Vikings Hnefatafl tells many stories, like the Moskowites invasion of Sweden or the Viking hordes pillaging Britain.
But no matter what the story is one thing always stays the same: The hunt for the king.Even though the rules arent complicated the game offers fascinating strategies and rewards tactical play.
