## What is Hnefatafl?

Hnefatafl is the historic Viking strategy game, redesigned for iPhone and iPad.

Two unequal forces clash on the board. The Defenders must guide the king to one of the four corners, while the Attackers attempt to surround and capture him.

Each side has a different objective and requires a different strategy. Open an escape route, set tactical traps and anticipate your opponent’s next move.

Features:

• Authentic 11×11 Hnefatafl board
• Play against the computer
• Three difficulty levels
• Online matches through Game Center
• Save and resume your games
• Complete gameplay instructions
• Light and dark appearance modes
• Greek, English and Chinese languages
• Apple Music and Spotify support

The Attackers always move first. Every piece moves horizontally or vertically, while captures are made by surrounding opposing pieces.

Will you lead the king to freedom, or close the circle around him?
