THE DEFENDERS MUST FIGHT TO ESCORT THEIR KING SAFELY TO A PORT, HOLDING OFF THE AGGRESSIVE ONSLAUGHT OF THE ATTACKERS BENT ON CAPTURING THE KING BEFORE HE CAN MAKE HIS ESCAPE.
Tafl games are found across the ancient Norse world, with each region having its own variant. From the Norse settlements in ancient Scotland comes the Tafl game known as Ard Rí, meaning “High King” in Gaelic.
Those who are familiar with Hnefatafl will quickly realize that Ard Rí takes a great deal more planning and forethought than its Scandinavian cousin, making it a favorite for strategy-minded individuals and lovers of games like Chess and Go.
Our Ard Rí set also comes with instructions for playing an alternate version of Ard Rí using the same pieces, providing an additional challenge to try.
Bring the fury and glory of the Viking age to your home today with a premium Ard Rí set!
