Game Introduction

Experience the thrill of Hnefatafl, the ancient Viking board game!

Hnefatafl, a strategic board game predating chess, pits two armies against each other in a battle for supremacy. One army, the invaders (black), seeks to capture the white king, while the defenders (white) strive to protect their king and engineer his escape. This captivating game, often referred to as the Vikings' Game, evokes historical scenarios like the Muscovite invasion of Sweden or Viking raids on Britain. The core objective remains consistent: the capture, or escape, of the king.

Despite its straightforward rules, Hnefatafl offers deep strategic depth and rewards tactical prowess. Master the art of surrounding enemy pieces, planning ahead, setting traps, and forcing your opponent's surrender. Will you claim victory and the spoils of war, or will the king's loyal guard prevail?
