Ancient Games - Hnefatafl

Hnefatafl also known as the Viking Game is a asymmetric strategy game. Where an attacking player attempts to surround the opponent's king. The defending player has too move his king to safety at certain squares around the edge of the board.
The attacking player has 24 piece and the defending player only has 13. The board is an 11 x 11 grid.

Hnefatafl is a game i did not enjoy playing. i found that i struggled to understand the rules and i found that it was too easy for the defending player to win. However if i had a greater understanding of the rules and strategies, I may enjoy this game more.
