Product Description
Fight For Your King
The Viking lords have sounded the drums of war. The king prepares his defenses while the enemy flanks him on all sides. When the unyielding blade meets the unbreakable shield, who shall prevail? In the ancient game of Hnefatafl, you will find the answer and perhaps lead your army to victory.
Hnefatafl is one of the oldest games in history, nearly contemporary with the invention of chess. It is a game of strategy and cunning, in which two players pursue distinct goals: the defenders attempt to escort their king off the battlefield, while the attackers seek to capture the king!
Hnefatafl includes a fully illustrated 10.5" x 10.5" game board, a flocked box insert that snugly holds all 37 pieces, a 2.5" oversize King piece, twelve 1.5" defender pieces, and twenty-four 2" attacker pieces. Whether raiding coastal villages or enjoying a family vacation, Hnefatafl packs flat in the box for a travel friendly experience.

A great game! Would buy again without hesitation. That said, I wish the board could be just a bit bigger as one tends 2 knock pieces over when they are close together. Having never played this game before, the rules were incredibly simple; too simple in fact. We had to go online to check some of the rules to make sure we were understanding them corrected.

This Hnefatafl board game is awesome and great quality for the price! My only complaint is my specific Hnefatafl board game didn't come with instructions (and isn't on the box) like it says it does in one of the pictures but they have a great product video explaining the rules so I will still give it 5 out of 5 stars!
