Maldon

from FD Games
The Northlands produced Vikings and a way of life alien to us now. The game they played was Tafl or Tables that pitted one player against another in a chace to capture or escape. The game lasted for eight centuries - far longer than modern chess - and perhaps we should see why it stood the test of time in our modern version known as Maldon.
