HNEFATAFL The Viking Board Game - Bookcase Edition

HNEFATAFL BOOKCASE EDITION

Also known as The Viking Game, The King's Table or simply Tafl. A two-player game where the opposing sides are not equal in number. The defending side comprises twelve soldiers and a king, who start the game in a cross formation in the center of the board. Their objective is for the king to escape by reaching any of the four corner squares. The attackers comprise 24 soldiers positioned in four groups of 6 around the perimeter of the board. All pieces move like the Rook in chess and pieces are taken by "sandwiching" i.e. moving your piece so that an opponent's piece is trapped horizontally or vertically between two of yours. There are many rule variations that are worth experimenting with.

The fully 3D Printed game is complete with all playing pieces, game board and bookcase style box to be stored on a shelf.
 

Information

All parts were printed with PLA filament. I use a textured plate for adhesion. Some parts will need to be superglued, for example, the book spines are glued to the square cornered side of the bookcase box.

Countless hours have gone into the collection and I hope to continue to expand the collection based on continued interest. Some of the games are long and large prints.
