About Viking Chess: Hnefatafl
Viking Chess: Hnefatafl is a two-player, turn-based strategy board game based on Hnefatafl, a chess-like game with assumed origins in the Viking era. It uses the popular Copenhagen ruleset, based on the Fetlar Hnefatafl ruleset. You can play against the AI, against another player locally, or online.
Factions and victory
One player takes the Attacker faction, with 24 pieces; the other takes the Defender faction, with 13 pieces, including one King. Defenders win by moving the King to one of the four corner tiles or protecting him in an “Edge Fort.” Attackers win by surrounding the King on all four adjacent sides or enclosing all escape routes.
Movement and captures
All pieces move vertically or horizontally like rooks in chess. You can capture opposing pieces with flanking moves, Shieldwall moves or Multi-capture moves.
Learning and rewards
An interactive, step-by-step tutorial teaches the game mechanics. Unlockable prefix titles can be added to your player profile name.
