Hnefatafl (King's Table) - Viking Chess Set - Irish Limestone

Instructions included! Hnefatafl, often called the “Viking chess,” is a strategic board game played across Scandinavia and the Celtic world long before the rise of modern chess. Centered on a dramatic battle between a king and his defenders against encircling attackers, the game rewards clever positioning, bold escapes, and tactical thinking.

This exceptional set is handcrafted in Ireland from genuine Irish limestone, with both the board and pieces carved from the same timeless stone, giving it a weight, texture, and authenticity that feels deeply rooted in the past. Whether displayed as a striking conversation piece or enjoyed as a game of strategy, it offers a tangible connection to the spirit of early medieval Europe.

21 Playing Pieces: Made in Ireland out of Irish limestone.
Approx. Height of King: 1.5" (3.8cm).
