After a short beta period the world domination mode of Hnefatafl is now available for all players. This event gets hosted on our Discord server (https://discord.gg/JRwc3nBhEp). In the #rules channels the pinned post will explain how it works. Here is a short summary: The channel features a map of the (known) world (mostly Europe) with over a hundred settlements. Each settlement can be settled or once in control of another player it can be attacked. When settling a province each player names a challenge code (created in the game) which will be used as preset for battles over this region. If the player gets attacked an according Tafl match will be created in the match. Its outcome will determine if the region changes its owner. Be victorious, conquer the world, earn your place in Valhalla!

"Hnefatafl"-Linux [265.85 M]
Often also called the Game of the Vikings Hnefatafl tells many stories, like the Moskowites invasion of Sweden or the Viking hordes pillaging Britain. But no matter what the story is one thing always stays the same: The hunt for the king.
Even though the rules aren't complicated the game offers fascinating strategies and rewards tactical play. Try to surround the enemy pieces, plan ahead, lay traps and force your opponent into surrender. Will you capture the king for gold and glory? Can the loyal guards hold back the invading forces and secure the flight of their king?
