HALATAFL and TABLUT Hnefatafl games on one board.
Halatafl (literally tail board, as in the foxes tail) is the Viking original version of the popular Fox and Geese game. Twenty geese challenge two foxes as they try to get from one side of the board to the other, while the two foxes try to eat all the geese before they do. Fun and challenging for the whole family.
Tablut is the tafl game that most all the other tafl variants derive their rules from. It is the game that Carl Linnaeus documented in the mid 1700's. It is played on a nine by nine board with nine defenders playing against sixteen attackers, and has much the same game play as Hnefatafl. I like to think of its play as if starting a Hnefatafl game midway through. It tends to be faster game play with all the challenges of Hnefatafl.
These games come with all the rules and pieces to play both game, sharing pieces between the two different games.

High quality and will be perfect for camping. I originally bought one as a gift for my kid, then bought another for a gift. I ended up finally playing Hnefatatl with the second person, liked it so much I bought a set for myself. It's like Othello meets chess, and is very enjoyable.

I bought this as a Christmas present for my son. I believe he’s going to love them. This was an entirely positive experience.
