Guard the king or hunt him. 100 proven puzzles plus games vs the computer.
Viking Chess is Hnefatafl (say NEF-ah-tah-ful), "the king's table": the board game of the Viking age. A king sits on his throne with a handful of defenders. Around the rim wait twice as many attackers. One side must get the king out. The other must take him. Play both sides: guard the king as the defenders, or hunt him down as the attackers, one puzzle at a time. Never played? A short welcome and three guided puzzles teach you the whole game one tap at a time. Journey through the ten realms of Norse myth, from the sunset fjords of Midgard to the golden hall of Valhalla. Every realm has its own painted world, its own board, and its own lesson: hammer-and-anvil captures, the hostile empty throne, corner escapes, sacrifices, the king hunt, the shieldwall, and tempo. At the end of each realm a named rival waits across the board, and in Valhalla the champion of the slain never blunders. - 100 puzzles in ten realms, from your first capture to the full game. Every puzzle is proven solvable, and every one can be three-starred. - Learn as you play: guided first puzzles, a short lesson whenever something new appears, and the full rules any time from Settings. - Three stars on every puzzle: solve it, solve it within par, solve it without a hint or undo. - Three historic boards with their real rules: Brandubh 7x7, Tablut 9x9 and Copenhagen 11x11. - Skirmish against four AI opponents, from Thrall to Konungr, as attackers or defenders. - A new Daily Puzzle every day with a streak, and a Daily Gift that grows through the week. - Hints from the solver, undo, and Seer's Sight to show which of your pieces are under threat. - "How to play" pages with moving diagrams.
