Hnefatafl Viking Chess Set - Handcrafted Teakwood Board with Ox-Bone Pieces

Experience the legendary Viking strategy game with this exquisite handcrafted Hnefatafl Set – a masterpiece of Norse gaming history and artisan craftsmanship.

A Viking Game of Strategy:

Hnefatafl (Viking Chess) is the historic Norse game of wit, strategy, and military intelligence. Unlike modern games, the 37 pieces are deliberately unequal – just as life and war were never fair for the Vikings. This asymmetric gameplay creates unique tactical challenges for both attackers and defenders.

Museum-Quality Craftsmanship:

  • Handcrafted Teakwood Board - Solid, durable construction inscribed with authentic Norse runes and symbols
  • 37 Genuine Ox-Bone Pieces - Hand-carved and polished, each piece is unique
  • Flame-Treated Attackers - Rich brown hue distinguishes the attacking forces
  • Ivory Defenders - Magnificent natural sheen for the defending pieces
  • Protective MDF Box - Keeps your heirloom set safe when not in use

Complete & Ready to Play:

Includes PDF guidebook with full instructions and diagrams delivered via email. Simple to learn but challenging to master – underestimate this ancient game at your peril!

Perfect For:

Viking enthusiasts, strategy game collectors, history buffs, unique gift seekers, and anyone who appreciates handcrafted board games with centuries of tradition.
