Description

Hnefatafl was a board game played by Vikings. Although no Viking Age rules are known, it is thought to have been similar to Tablut, a game recorded by Linnaeus in Lachesis Lapponica (1732). This record has been the basis of a number of reconstructed rules systems that use boards like those recovered from Viking Age sites.
