The Viking Game - Deluxe Edition

The Viking Game also known as Hnefatafl, The King's Table or simply Tafl is one of history's greatest board games. Unlike chess, where both sides are equal, this two-player medieval Viking game consists of two uneven-sized armies that battle it out to achieve opposing goals. The invading black army tries to capture the white king, while the defending white army tries to protect their king and help him escape.

Customer Feedback

The colour is great, the veneer is quality, and importantly -- the board has straight,...

The best chess pieces

We stock a vast range of chessmen from the worlds finest producers. The selection includes over three hundred different designs and a multitude of different materials. We've been extremely selective about who we buy our chessmen from. We were fortunate enough to form a solid business relationship in 2008 with one of the worlds finest producers of wooden Staunton chess pieces which has meant we've put together a superb range of the very best quality. We also stock finely crafted chessmen from Italy, Greece and England.

The largest range of chess sets in Europe

Since 2008 we've been constantly adding to our range of chess sets. We now have close to a thousand product lines on the website which includes a fantastic range of chess and backgammon products as well as a host of other wooden games. During the last ten years many online retailers of traditional games have come and gone but none have managed to build a selection as large as ours. We're proud of our vast product range and our array of superb suppliers.

Luxury Chess Sets

One thing that we have become experts at is creating superb luxury chess sets. We've spent the last decade sourcing the worlds best chess boards and the best chessmen. We've combined them together to make some of the very best chess sets. We always ensure that the pieces match the board in terms of size, style and colour. You can rest assured that if we've created a set by combining a board, pieces and maybe a box, that it will be perfect. In our opinion there is no better gift than a stunning luxury chess set, 34 stunning pieces that will last forever and look beautiful in your home.
