What a fantastic game! Despite being defeated twice I loved it! And such a beautiful board too.

Challenging and intellectual game, takes a few games to get into it but certainly a game that adapts to the player.

Good fun and you can make your own strategy if you are the king or enemy. I love how beautiful the art work is. Emily age 11.

The game is physically attractive. It’s early days but I think this game is going to become a favourite. It is ostensibly simple, and the rules certainly are – easily learned in a couple of minutes. But clearly, like chess or go, there are levels and levels and levels of complexity, which I’m only just beginning to see. The difference is that the two sides in Hnefatafl are trying to achieve different objectives, unlike chess, go and similar games where each is trying to win in the same way. So far as I can tell, at the level I’m currently at, the two sides are surprisingly evenly balanced. When you’ve finished one game playing as blue, you immediately want to start another playing as red! It’s fascinating.
