Experience the ancient Viking strategy game, – your path to Valhalla!

, a classic Scandinavian board game, predates chess and boasts variations played across medieval Europe. Two armies clash: the black invaders seek to capture the white king, while the white defenders must protect their king and orchestrate his escape.
