Gift box presentation. Made in the UK. This Hnefatafl set brings to mind the famous Isle Of Lewis, and with the "board" printed on woven textile, there is a nice medieval feel to the set. Most pieces found to date are more basic in design than this, giving evidence of just how popular the game was among ordinary people who could not indulge in the finer things in life. Hnefatafl was at its most popular during the Dark Ages in Northern Europe and ranks as one of history's greatest board games. Over the years, the game was developed and adapted, and as such, different versions have been found on archaeological sites. Hnefatafl literally means ‘Kings Table’ and manuscripts have revealed how to play the game properly. Due to the huge popularity of the bronze and cream version of The Viking Game, in 2020 Regency Chess commissioned Rechapados Ferrer in Spain, to create a wooden board for it and they didn’t let us down. The set includes a leaflet with instructions on how to play the game and is garaunteed to bring fun to the family table.
