Hnefatafl

The Legendary Viking Game - Fight Your Way to Valhalla!

Hnefatafl is an ancient Nordic board game with variants played across medieval Europe long before chess emerged. In these strategic Tafl games, two unequal armies clash. The attacking black forces aim to capture the white king, while the defending white troops strive to safeguard their monarch and facilitate his escape.

Known as the Viking Game, Hnefatafl recounts epic tales like Swedish resistance against Muscovite invaders or Norse raids on Britain. Regardless of the scenario, one constant remains: the relentless pursuit of the king.

Despite simple rules, the game delivers deep strategic complexity. Master flanking maneuvers, think multiple moves ahead, set cunning traps, and force your opponent's surrender. Will you seize glory by capturing the king? Or can the royal guard withstand the onslaught?

Enjoy over 200,000 customizable variants for both offline and online play!
