The Viking inspired board game, “King’s Table”, historically also known as “Hnefatafl” & “Tablut” must rank as one of history’s greatest board games! Even with rather simple rules, it requires tactical sense and ability to understand the opponents thinking. It became a popular game in Northern Europe during the Viking era (end of 8th century to about 1000AD), a turbulent time full of conflict. Based on archaeological research, the game is reconstructed and appears now as it may have been played in the past.
