Excellent way to play other good human players!
This app lets you play all the variants: four-piece(popular) or two-piece(historically accurate) king capture, board size from 7x7 all the way up to 19x19, different initial positions, edge or corner escape, neutral or hostile throne and/or corner squares…, so you can play the variant you think is best and most fun!
There are AI opponents that play the 7x7 well, but tend to be weak on larger board sizes. Fortunately however the real value of this app, is that it is popular enough to be able to play real humans from all over the world in real time(10, 20 or 30 minutes) or with correspondence time controls(1day, 2day, 1week etc). Plus there are ongoing tournaments of different variants, often with 64 participants.

Too small on iPhone to play
‘Nouf’ said. Moving on.
Not following rules??
I read that the king is captured when surrounded on all four sides unless it’s by a wall. Yet the game is taking my king when only surrounded on three sides and he has room to move. I’m new to this, so? Why am I losing when he’s not surrounded on all four sides?
Good, but rather slow
Great job, but it is so slow when playing against computer.
Bug
J’aime beaucoup se jeux et j’y joue lorsque j’ai pas d’adversaire dans la vrai vie mais votre jeux a des bug qui m’énerve plutôt beaucoup, pk mon roi se fait manger avec seulement 2 pion? Pk des pions saute par-dessus d’autre? et pk l’IA peut jouer plusieurs fois d’affilée. après je connais peut-être pas toute les règles mais ça m’étonnerais car je me suis bien renseigné.

Игра супер
Батя показал игру , я решил скачать и не пожалел 👍🏻
Capture du roi
Bonjour, j’aime beaucoup ce jeu il est vraiment superbe.
Je viens de commander le jeu en réel, il aura le même nombre de cases que le vôtre.
Votre jeu va me permettre de m’entraîner et de continuer à y jouer quand je n’ai pas d’adversaire.
J’ai une question concernant la capture du roi, je précise que je ne suis pas une experte étant donné que j’ai commencé que hier soir…
J’ai lu sur Wikipédia et ailleurs, que pour capturer le roi, quand il était au milieu du plateau, qu’il devait être entouré par 4 pions, dans la version de votre jeu il se fait prendre en sandwich avec seulement 2 pions, comme pour les pions blancs.
Je n’ai pas reçu encore l’autre jeu et je ne voudrais pas être en désaccord avec mon adversaire quand on va commencer à jouer. 😁
Merci encore de nous avoir créé ce très beau jeu.

Wrong rules
the rules all wrong. For the king to be taken you need for pieces around him. Not this two thing. And the pieces also need to be right next to the other pieces to take the opposite person pawn.
Супер
Спасибо за старания в переносе замечательной игры на телефон!
Great game
Having lots of fun in the tournaments for the different versions of the game. Great game play. Easy to learn against the computer players. Then develop into playing people online. Just watch out for people make one sided games to boost there player rating.
Capturing King
I deleted this App after my very first game after it repeatedly captured the King with only 2 pieces.
Farvel.

Great game, but has easily fixable major flaw
I love this version of Hnefatafl. It is so refined and makes learning and playing this classic game easy and fun. However, there is a major flaw that could be easily corrected by the designer. For example, when playing in online matches, where one player fails to move, there should be an automatic feature that forfeits their game. I’ve had several matches where my opponents just stop playing in the middle of the match, and there is no way to end these games then. They’re basically paused forever. The designer should build in an automatic forfeiture feature if an opponent fails to move after maybe 2 weeks.

Отлично
Давно искал достойное приложение для иос и теперь можно играть. 5!
Great game
Awesome game with great features,mods, variances etc… But the AI is terrible at Hnefatafl. Doesn’t pose much challenge. Any way to up the difficulty?
really nice game, but …
A really nice game. I found no better implementation of this gama and it would get 5 of 5 stars, but the power consumption is really heavy. Without power cord you aren‘t able to play 2 games.
Does not apply the same rules to both sides
I only play this game as a single player.
When I make a move they should take the opponent’s piece by trapping it against the sides, it does not remove the piece. Yet when the computer makes the same move, it takes my piece.
When I move my king to either the side border or to the corner, it does not show me as winning. But if the computer opponent makes the same move, it shows that I lost.

Best App
This is by far the best platform. The developer takes great care to provide feedback and has created a masterful platform to learn and play this amazing game. I teach my young children every day and they are so eager to play, I can get them to do their homework every night with the promise of a game! The online system is incredible. We eagerly anticipate seeing the next move. Ample and customizable times are given. There is a planning mode that allows you to play through various scenarios and replay past matches so you can learn where you went wrong and really improve your skill. Our family has become true devotees to the learning and sharing the game with colleagues and friends. Even sculpting and building our own sets and using the app alongside actual boards to take advantage of the planning mode to gain skill and practice. For those who are just discovering this game, it is a REAL historical ANCIENT game with a rich history. I would recommend to anyone lucky enough to chance upon it to do a little reading on the history and origins. The time spent doing this is far more valuable than just about any other activity we commonly use our phones for now a days. The game play has a simplicity which makes it easy to gain an adequate level of proficiency in a far shorter time than chess for example, but the strategies required are complex and exciting enough to satisfy ones intellectual needs. And knowing that this was played and developed by our ancient ancestors makes it even more amazing. The built in AI is excellent for learning winning patterns and strategies and are fully customizable. This particular app allows for all the possible multitude of historical variations. Online play is simple to navigate and takes the excitement to a high level even including rankings and tournaments.

Great app
As an American, I just found out this game. I had to google the rules/game play. This game is a blast, but would be nice if there was a “rules” section for each of the games, as it seems each game has some variations and rules. Other wise, very nice. 5 stars for sure
Großartiges Spiel!
Sehr knifflig und wunderbar gemacht!
Лучшая настолка! 😀
Хнифатафл! Легендарная игра викингов, просто. Эпично. Всё как я люблю! Спасибо что сделали мобильную версию:)
