Tafl Games - The Viking's Strategic Pastime

We now sail to the icy shores of Scandinavia, where the Vikings played a family of games known as Tafl games. These games, which include Hnefatafl, Tablut, and Tawlbwrdd, are asymmetrical war games where one player, with fewer pieces, attempts to escape from the other player, who has more pieces.

Tafl games are games of pure strategy, with no element of luck involved. They require careful planning and tactical thinking, making them a challenging and engaging pastime.
