Tafl History:

Tafl games (pronounced [tavl]), also known as hnefatafl games, are a family of ancient Northern European strategy board games played on a checkered or latticed gameboard with two armies of uneven numbers. These games were popular in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Iceland, Britain and Ireland. Eventually overtaken in popularity by chess in the 12th century, the original rules are unknown however variants have been created based from later manuscripts.

I was very pleased with the finished item...

I was very pleased with the finished item when it arrived. The seller communicated well to establish my exact requirements and ensure I approved the design at each stage. He was very concerned about the quality of the final product. I would happily use him again.
