Board Game Review 'The Viking Game' by Past Times

Bernard checks out "The Viking Game" which has been around in one version or another for over 1600 years. A basic two-player game but Bernard looks at increasing the playing numbers and enjoyment.

The Blurb:

The Viking Game, The King's Table, Hnefatafl or simply Tafl, is one of the rare breed of games with two unequal sides. The defending side comprises twelve soldiers and a king, who start the game in a cross formation in the center of the board. Their objective is for the king to escape by reaching any of the four corner squares. The attackers comprise 24 soldiers positioned in four groups of 6 around the perimeter of the board. All pieces move like the Rook in chess and pieces are taken by "sandwiching" i.e. moving your piece so that an opponent's piece is trapped horizontally or vertically between two of yours. There is a host of information on the Internet about Hnefatafl, including many rule variations that are worth experimenting with.
