The Viking Game

The Viking Game must rank as one of history's greatest board games. It was at its most popular during the Dark Ages in Northern Europe, a period of scant records and shifting populations. Like so much of the history of the dark ages our knowledge of the Viking Game is patchy, a mystery now half solved as a result of archaeological research.

There are only two types of pieces, plus the warriors and all the pieces make the same move. The game looks simple but subtle and is still a game on which you can easily get hooked.
