Little guy arrived
Bigger than expected
This was the best place to quickly photograph him so you could see the pretty color
(nobody come for me about this unfinished diorama, I've been actually writing 💀)

Okay, I got my order to work so I won't gatekeep this website anymore! (there were only five left and I NEEDED one). There are so many other great things, too, including pins that contribute to building the warrior's hall on Birka.

I have just discovered this little gem of an ancient Viking board game.
Intriguing because of the imbalance of the sides and different aims to win.
Basically the dark pieces need to box in the white king
The white king must reach the safety of a corner square.
A great concept
Have you ever played Viking Chess/Hnefatafl?? One of the Stupid Puppy Games staff has a copy, but has yet to play it! Any good strategies?

1,000-Year-Old Viking King Game Piece Offers Rare Portrait
Archaeologists identified a one‑inch walrus‑ivory figurine from an 18th‑century excavation in Viken, Norway, as a portrait of a 10th‑century Viking king. It entered Denmark’s National Museum in 1798. getnews.me/1-000-year-old-viking-ki... #viking #hnefatafl

And back from a long weekend at #middeleeuwsWinschoten. Played many games of #Hnefatafl, shared homemade #beefjerkey, stories and hugs. Tired but satisfied, unpacking stuff. It was fun with good neighbours like #smederijroodbaert, band #hansanova and #drreizendenoorderlingen. #fantasy #reenactment
Me at a historical market. Dressed a Rus Viking working on some wood stuff

Oh how much fun it was. I already miss the smell of the #woodfire. The sun burnt skin. The games of #hnefatafl, the conversations. The beautiful moments with visitors and how people were happy with my #beefjerkey... #medievalfestival #viking #vikings #Doornenburg
Now for a fun note: Vikings were gamers!!! #hnefatafl #video

A small army of domed or thimble shaped games pieces. There are two different sets, some are various shades of royal and navy blue, while the others are gold, amber, or honey-colored. Many or most of them carry small round shields. They have very simple details helmets, hair, beards and faces are made with shallow lines carved into the base shapes. They look like vikings or fantasy dwarves. One of the gold pieces towards the back is a head taller than the others, wears a crown and holds a sword, as well as having overall better definition.
For #opposites I decided on "opposing forces"
A set of pieces for #hnefatafl- a #Viking game!
Archeo. examples exist, inc. glass & amber - my inspiration. The King (Queen) piece is based on the "Hårby Valkyrie"
#Discworld fans will see parallels to #Thud!

El hnefatafl es un juego de mesa que pertenece a la familia de los juegos tafl, antiguos juegos de mesa germánicos que se practicaban sobre una tabla cuadriculada y que son probables descendientes del Ludus latrunculorum romano. La palabra tafl (pronunciada tapl) significa mesa o tablero en nórdico antiguo, pero actualmente es la palabra para ajedrez en islandés moderno.

A mockup for the ancient Viking board game on Hnefatafl, consisting of an ornate 9x9 board containing 25 pieces set out in a cross-formation, sixteen attackers at the edge, a king and eight defenders in the middle. This game may or may not be practical on an IBM PC; I will probably find out some day when I try to implement it.
Looking through old mockup images reminds me how long a list of DOS projects I have ahead of me. #hnefatafl #ibmpc #msdos #cga
