Application Description:

Journey to Valhalla with the Ancient Viking Game, Hnefatafl!

Hnefatafl, a historical Scandinavian board game, predates chess and boasts variants played across medieval Europe. This "Tafl" game pits two armies of unequal size against each other: the black invaders seeking to capture the white king, and the white defenders striving to protect and escape with their king.

Often dubbed the "Game of the Vikings," Hnefatafl's narratives range from the Muscovite invasion of Sweden to Viking raids on Britain. The core remains constant: the thrilling king hunt.

Despite its simple rules, Hnefatafl offers deep strategic depth, rewarding tactical prowess. Encircle foes, anticipate moves, set traps, and force your opponent's surrender. Will you claim victory and the king's riches? Or will the loyal guards safeguard their king's escape?

Play offline or online, crafting your own unique variations from over 200,000 possibilities! Enjoy cross-platform play across iOS, Windows, and Linux, using a single account to access all your games. Asynchronous multiplayer lets you play at your convenience.

Valhalla awaits!
