About

Runetafl is Hnefatafl – "Viking Chess": the ancient, asymmetric strategy game of the Norse, finally done beautifully and fairly. A king and his defenders try to escape to one of the four corners. The attackers, twice as many, try to capture him first. You'll learn the rules in a minute – the games have the depth of chess or go. ONE GAME, DONE RIGHT • No ads. No subscription. No tracking. No energy, no timers. • A fair, tiered AI: easy, medium, hard. • Two players on one device (hot-seat) or against the AI – play as the king or the attackers. FIVE VARIANTS • Copenhagen 11×11 (modern tournament rules) • Brandubh 7×7 (quick game) • Tablut 9×9 and Tawlbwrdd 11×11 (edge escape) • Alea 13×13 (a big battlefield) BEAUTIFUL & ACCESSIBLE • The "Runestone" look: a carved wooden board, gliding pieces, sound and haptics. • Full dark mode. • An interactive tutorial plus a short rules reference. • Board themes and statistics. Hnefatafl is over a thousand years old. Runetafl brings it to today.
