Hand-Carved Bone in Classic Contrast

The attacking army is rendered in dark, blackened bone (18x18mm), while the defenders contrast beautifully in warm antiqued bone of the same size. At the center of the conflict stands a detailed king, carved from antique bone and scaled larger (35x20mm) to command presence on the board. Each piece is made from ethically sourced water buffalo bone, preserving the traditional materials once used in games of status and skill across the Viking world.

Leather Board with Built-In Roleplay

The 11x11 playing board is crafted from soft leather, marked with the Tafl grid and finished with a drawstring edge that cinches shut to become its own carrying pouch. This design is not only practical for storage and travel, but also ideal for immersive roleplay and historically inspired presentation. Lightweight, rugged, and steeped in tradition, this Hnefatafl set is perfect for casual players, living history groups, or anyone seeking a portable piece of Viking culture.
