New Product: Basic 37-piece Hnefatafl Game
Wednesday, 11th December 2013
Another new product is available from The Hnefatafl Shop. The Basic 37-piece Hnefatafl Game is a smart, no-nonsense addition to the family of games sold here. It is aimed at somebody looking for a low-cost entry into the game, or an inexpensive set to carry around to tournaments or game nights.
Experienced players will enjoy the flexibility that the minimal board design offers: starting positions are not marked, only corners and the centre square, allowing a number of different variants to be played on the board. With its sparkling glass pieces, anyone can appreciate the decorative value it adds to a room.
The hand-made board comes with a black drawstring pouch to hold the pieces. The rules booklet gives two options for play, alongside a history of the game and details of where to find out more.
The Hnefatafl Shop, a subsidiary of the board game company Cyningstan, was created to provide a specialist on-line shop for hnefatafl. It forms part of the site Hnefatafl: the Game of the Vikings, which draws on over a decade of research to promote the game of hnefatafl and to provide information about its history, rules and strategy. By specialising in one game, The Hnefatafl Shop can offer a better range of products than more general gaming outlets.
Proprietor Damian Walker said "I've been making a low-cost 11x11 hnefatafl game for a number of years. But for The Hnefatafl Shop I wanted to offer something a bit smarter in a similar price range. I think people will be pleased with the appearance of this new set."
