Viking Game "Hnefatafl"

The Viking Game "Hnefatafl" (which means literally 'King's table') is one of history's greatest board games. It was at its most popular during the Dark Ages in Northern Europe. The game was popular in the Viking homelands in Scandinavia as early as AD400 and was carried by the Vikings to the lands they conquered. Over the centuries the game developed and different versions of the board have been found by archaeologists in sites from Ireland to the Ukraine. Hnefatafl was last recorded as being played in Wales in 1578 and in Lapland in 1723.
The board incoperates typical Viking patterns in its design and is printed on natural linen.
