Hnefatafl – Board Game of the Vikings
Hnefatafl was the board game of the Vikings and in this video I explain the rules the way I was taught them. This epic Viking game was popular in many areas and countries long into the medieval age.
We don’t know exactly this game was played. The rules probably varied up through the centuries and depended on the geographical area. This is a modern interpretation.

Thanks for the overview. Looks fun.
July 4, 2020 - 6:17 pmI picked up this game a couple years ago. A lot of fun.
July 4, 2020 - 6:17 pmHnefatafl – The cooler version of chess.
July 4, 2020 - 6:17 pmMy high school physics teacher had this in his classroom.
July 4, 2020 - 6:17 pmAt 5:40 the king is captured with 3 attackers but can’t he just go back to the Center square? I was playing online with the computer and the computer returned the king to the center. Pls confirm.

July 4, 2020 - 6:17 pmDoth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?
I started playing this game and after a few weeks it seemed like the attackers have the advantage to the extent that they will always win unless they make a mistake. Has anyone else found this, and if not what do you do as the defender to stop the attacker from surrounding you or break out once the corners are blocked?
July 4, 2020 - 6:17 pmThis is way kool
July 4, 2020 - 6:17 pmAnyone else playing mount and blade bannerlord
July 4, 2020 - 6:17 pmViking Chess!
July 4, 2020 - 6:17 pmDo you play four on one or four on two. Some play Four on five but it’s real politics then in my mind
July 4, 2020 - 6:17 pmMy sister gave me a Hnefatafl board for my birthday and this video helps me to understand how to play so much better. Now I can play against my family and strain our relationships with bad sportsmanship! <3
July 4, 2020 - 6:17 pmI might need to actually play this or watch someone play it, but as I imagine it being played in my head… it doesn't sound like the attacking player has a big chance of ever capturing the King. It looks to be extremely easy to move the King to the corners…
July 4, 2020 - 6:17 pmThere is a bigger version of this game played on 19×19 board
July 4, 2020 - 6:17 pmHave you tried to play it?
Saw this game in "The last kingdom" and it looked interesting 🤔
July 4, 2020 - 6:17 pmThanks you so much for uploading this it has helped me immensely.
July 4, 2020 - 6:17 pmThis game looks fun definitely would play this game.
July 4, 2020 - 6:17 pmChess but cooler
July 4, 2020 - 6:17 pmThank you, that was so easy to understand!
July 4, 2020 - 6:17 pmIs there a way i could get the same game you have in the video? Looks awesome.
July 4, 2020 - 6:17 pmCan you capture/kill a piece if they are in between diagonally, like this
😶
July 4, 2020 - 6:17 pm😯
😶
so the mount and blade 2 bannerlord minigame is based on this
July 4, 2020 - 6:17 pmIs there any android app to play this game?? Plz
July 4, 2020 - 6:17 pmcan pièces be captured diagonally
July 4, 2020 - 6:17 pmGreat video! I would like to ask where you got this particular set.
July 4, 2020 - 6:17 pmI just realized the other day that Quoridor, a game that I have wanted to try for a while, has a 9×9 board, the same as a variant of hnefatafl (the one with 8/16 pieces + king); so I'll build a board that does both (just need grooves between the squares for the quoridor walls).
July 4, 2020 - 6:17 pmThank you for explaining this😃
July 4, 2020 - 6:17 pmIt’s like Othello and chess put together
July 4, 2020 - 6:17 pmThank you for explaining. I have wondered about the rules of that game. 🙂 Is there only those few rules?
