Hnefatafl: A Viking Board Game

This is what a Hnefatafl board looks like.

Hnefatafl is a game that is very similar to both chess and checkers. The board is normally a square made by 11 squares on each side, the game can still be played with any number as long as it is odd. The point of the game is for the attackers to try and capture the king while the defenders try to escort the king to one of the corners of the board. Whichever team competes it's task wins the game. The way you capture a piece is you have to have one of your pices on two sides of another piece, except for the king, you have to be on all four sides to capture him.
