Viking

Introduction

“Viking” is a popular and significant board game that dates back to the ancient Northern European strategy board games known as Tafl games, which were played on a checkered or latticed gameboard with two armies of uneven numbers. The game, also known as Hnefatafl, held immense symbolic and religious significance in Viking culture. It is believed that the game was played in Northern Europe and in England from the 8th century and into the Middle Ages.
