Application Description

Experience the ancient Viking strategy game, – your path to Valhalla!

, a classic Scandinavian board game, predates chess and boasts variations played across medieval Europe. Two armies clash: the black invaders seek to capture the white king, while the white defenders must protect their king and orchestrate his escape.

Often called the Vikings' Game, evokes historical scenarios such as the Muscovite invasion of Sweden or Viking raids on Britain. The core objective remains consistent: the king's capture.

Despite simple rules, offers deep strategic possibilities, rewarding tactical prowess. Outmaneuver opponents, anticipate moves, set traps, and force surrender. Will you claim victory and the king's spoils? Can the king's loyal guard fend off the invaders and secure his escape?

Play offline or online, customizing your game from over 200,000 possible variations!

Enjoy cross-platform play on iOS, Windows, and Linux, using a single account across all devices. Asynchronous multiplayer lets you resume games at your convenience.

Valhalla awaits!
