Hnefatafl, also known as The Viking Game, Tafl, or The King's Table, is an exciting and strategic board game which has been played for hundreds of years, peaking in popularity during the Dark Ages in Northern Europe. Over the centuries the game developed, and archaeologists have discovered differing versions. Hnefatafl was last recorded as being played in Wales in 1587 and in Lapland in 1723.
The rules of Hnefatafl are simple yet entertaining; the king is placed in the centre of the playing board encircled by his defenders. Around the outside of the board, attackers are positioned with the aim of taking the king. This Hnefatafl set features a fabric playing board with resin pieces, presented in a gold-foiled burgundy box.
The perfect gift for board game lovers looking for a new challenge.
