The ancient boardgame of the Vikings.

## About This Game
Hnefatafl is an ancient Scandinavian board game whose variants were played all
over medieval Europe before chess was even invented. In those so called Tafl
games two different sized armies fight each other. The invading black army
tries to capture the white king, while the defending white army tries to
protect their king and help him escape.

Often also called the Game of the Vikings Hnefatafl tells many stories, like
the Moskowites invasion of Sweden or the Viking hordes pillaging Britain. But
no matter what the story is one thing always stays the same: The hunt for the
king .

Even though the rules aren’t complicated the game offers fascinating
strategies and rewards tactical play. Try to surround the enemy pieces, plan
ahead, lay traps and force your opponent into surrender. Will you capture the
king for gold and glory? Can the loyal guards hold back the invading forces
and secure the flight of their king?

You can even create your own custom variants — with over 200,000 different
variants possible — for online or offline play!
