READY TO SHIP! - Hnefatafl Game: Finnish Tablut Variant; Laser-Engraved Board Game w/ Historical Artwork and Stained Accents, Viking Chess
Hnefatafl, the game of the Vikings. This strategy board game traveled with Scandinavian explorers, traders, and raiders alike, and was adopted by many of the cultures they came in contact with. There were many different variants of the game, depending upon the region of origin.
Created from resilient Poplar wood, laser-engraved with historical artwork (one of the Jelling Dragons, paired with an augmented spear ornament), and stained in two colors for added accent. This design is titled "Jelling Tafl I" ('II' will be produced soon)!

• HOW TO PLAY: The King, starting from an opening position at the center square, wins the game if he reaches any one of the corner squares along the outer grid edge. All pieces move as a rook does in Chess. The attackers win if they capture the King by flanking or surrounding him with two or more of their number. The strategies involved can make the game more difficult than the base gameplay mechanics suggest. This 9x9 grid board game will come with artwork denoting the opening positions for "Tablut”, played by the Sami people of Finland, but other variants and even ‘house rules’ games can be adapted easily.
A rules pamphlet is included with the game.

PLEASE NOTE: All of my items are crafted by me, in my home studio and workshop. I am a one-man show, with no ‘production partners’ to help mass-produce any item (though I will source pawns, etc. from quality reputable dealers). Be assured that when you buy an item from me, you are getting a distinctive creation from the original maker. Given the inherent nature of the handcrafted work, time frames for more complex creations, whether the complexity is the art, the build, or a combination of both, can be extensive. Please be patient; I communicate and update customers regularly with the status of their unique creation(s).

Frequently Asked Questions
Wholesale availability
Due to the nature of the majority of my work, and the typical amount of business that comes through my shop, wholesale items are not available.
Custom and personalized orders
Please contact me before placing an order should you desire customizations not outlined or offered in any particular listing.
Holiday ordering
During the Christmas holiday season, I can quickly become VERY busy; typically putting in 12 hour days in order to make holiday shipping deadlines.
Please plan ahead - I begin taking Christmas orders in late August, but due to workload, I will close the shop to further made-to-order requests the first week of December. Ready to ship items remain listed and ship as stated in their listing.
Shipping times
In the case of any custom or Made To Order item, I try very hard to meet the listed production/ship time for the listed item. However, I am a one-man shop, and the handcrafted nature of the work, particularly during busy periods, can cause delays. If you require your item by a specific date, please inquire first. I do not rush the work, as I want each piece to be exceptional and worthy to the person purchasing it. Thank you for your patience and understanding, and of course, your patronage!
