Hnefatafl
Defenders protect the king from invaders! Twelve soldiers and a king face twenty-four attackers in an uneven battle. All pieces move like chess rooks, capturing opponents by trapping them between two of their own pieces. The defenders aim to guide the king from the central cross formation to any corner of the board, while the attackers try to prevent his escape.
