Strategy & War

TheWar Hall

Where the slain drill for the last battle, and jarls move their pieces by the fire.

This is the mustering-ground of the tree — Valhöll's long hall, where the Einherjar wake each dawn to fight, fall, and rise again. Take the war-board, set your line, and out-think the foe. Tafl and chess for the patient mind; spear, tank, and longship for the bold. Win, lose, feast, and ride out again.

Vikings!

Sea-Raiding Adventure

Begin as a nobody from the backwaters of the North with a ship and a hungry crew. Raid the coasts and shipping lanes of Europe or sail as a merchant, fight shield-to-shield duels and land battles, court the jarl’s daughter, and come home rich enough to buy a farm or found a kingdom of your own.

The full game is coming soon to the App Store for iPhone and Mac, and to the Microsoft Store for Windows. Play the demo

Ríki: Empires of the North

Real-Time Strategy

Gather timber, stone and silver, raise a steading into a kingdom, and climb the ages from Landnám onward. Build longhouses and hirds in real time, then march them against rival jarls who are doing the same.

Claim the land
♞

War Chess

Battle Chess

The old game of kings, fought piece by piece. Every capture is a clash — knights ride down pawns and the board becomes a field.

Viking Tafl

Hnefatafl

The Norse war-game itself: a king and his guard break for the corners while the raiders close the ring. Asymmetric, ancient, merciless.

Set the line
♚

Hnefatafl

Board Strategy

The king's table played straight — no flourish, just position and pressure. Take the king's guard or the besieging host, and climb a ladder of ever-sharper foes that drill your defense and your attack in turn.

Choose your side

Lewis Chessmen Chess

Chess

Chess played with the brooding berserkers and grim wardens carved from walrus ivory on a Hebridean shore. The oldest faces at the board.

Ragnarök Joust

Joust

Mount, flap, and lance your rivals from the sky above the burning world. Timing and altitude decide who falls and who feasts.

Mount up
ᛒ

Forest Front

Tank Combat

Two iron beasts, one maze of trees and walls. Bank your shots, read the angles, and hold the line of fire. Best with a shield-brother.
