Hnefatafl Viking Chess Set with 37 Faceted Wood Pieces and 10.5 in Square Board

Test your strategy with this two-player abstract game, a traditional board game in the spirit of chess. Hnefatafl was a medieval pastime played by Norse and European warriors during the Dark Ages.

Each side has a different goal. One player guards the king and defenders while trying to move the king off the board. The other player leads a force of frost giants aiming to capture the king. The set includes 37 faceted wood pieces and a one-piece board, 10.5 inches square, with hand-illustrated art of the World Serpent. The board has no fold or crease, giving a flat play surface. Printed instructions are included.
