Hnefatafl is an ancient Viking board game where an overwhelming force of raiding attackers clash in battle with the defending king and his loyal force of warriors. The game was highly appreciated by the Vikings who used it to perfect their strategies in war. 

The board is made from leather that can be rolled up or turned into a bag to contain the gaming pieces made from polished stones. The perfect set for wanderers, Viking reenactors and backpackers!

Product number: 2938

Being a skilled player was held in such high esteem that it’s mentioned in several sagas, such as in the Orkeyinga Saga where Jarl Rögnvald Kali Kolsson tops his list of nine boasts with his skill at Hnefatafl.

Hnefatafl Game
Review by Michael R. on 25 Jul 2023 review stating Hnefatafl Game
Ordered the Hnefatafl game in the leather pouch version. Received it in about a week from the other side of the world. Well packaged with great playing instructions. Love the old world styling of it and plan to play it with my grandsons to teach them strategy and tactics. Grim frost is the best. Will be purchasing more from you. SKOL
