Hnefatafl 7x7 Board W/ Rules - Ard Rí, Brundub, Magpie (Magnetic Tiles & Pawns / Swappable Tiles)

NEW Optional Storage

Needs 3mm X 1mm Magnets for the optional magnetic tiles & pawns.

Suggested Rules - Ard Rí

• Defenders - Place the king on the central king square, surrounded by his defenders on the squares sharing the same color.
• Attackers - Position the attackers on the squares sharing the same color.

• The attackers move first
• All pieces move orthogonally along rows or columns any number of spaces, but cannot jump over or land on other pieces. (like a Rook in Chess)
• Only the king may occupy the central king square or any of the corner king squares.

• A piece is captured by sandwiching it between two of your own pieces on opposite sides along a row or column. The captured piece is immediately removed from the board.
• It is possible to capture multiple pieces in a single move; all such pieces are removed at once.
• A piece can also be captured against an empty corner square or the central square, as though one of your pieces occupied it.

Winning the Game - Attackers - Capturing the King

• The king is captured by surrounding him on all four sides.

• The defenders win if they successfully move the king to one of the four marked corner squares.
