Hnefatafl print-and-play file with a 9x9 board, and a starting layout with defenders in the form of a square. The board and pieces fit nicely onto two A4 sheets of paper, with the assembly and play instructions on a third sheet.

The suggested rules are those used by the Ealdfaeder Anglo-Saxon re-enactment group. A king in the centre of the board must escape to one of the four corners with the aid of eight defenders, while sixteen attackers try to capture him.
