Hnefatafl - Viking Chess
Board and Pieces
Hnefatafl, also known as The Viking Game. One of the oldest games in the world - traced in various versions to the Vikings, Welsh, Saxons, and Irish. The origins of this game can be traced through Petteia, played by the Romans, to the even older versions played by the Ancient Greeks and Egyptians.
The objective is for the king (in the center) to escape by reaching any of the four corner squares. All pieces move like the Rook in chess and pieces are taken by "sandwiching" i.e. moving your piece so that an opponent's piece is trapped horizontally or vertically between two of yours.
Price: $165 (USD) + Shipping and Handling (The price includes all 37 pieces)
