Also called Viking’s Chess, or simply Tafl, it originated as early as the 4th century in the Scandinavian region of the world. A two-player game, one team, starting in the middle of the board, is the defenders of the king, the other team, starting on the outer edges of the board, is the attackers. The defenders win if the king can safely navigate to one of the four corners. The attackers win if they can capture the king. All pieces, including the king, may move as many spaces as they wish, however no piece may move diagonally, nor may a piece jump over or pass another piece. Any piece may be captured and removed from the board if it is flanked on opposite sides by two of the opponent’s pieces. The king acts as a member of the defenders and may help capture opponents as the game proceeds. Along with the board, the playing pieces (stones), and rule sheet are included.

Penny Drop ($29)

This game is for 2 or more players, the number of players is unlimited, although the game gets longer the more players you have. Each player begins with 10 pennies. (or less for a shorter game) On your turn, roll the die. Place one of your pennies on the space for the number you rolled. You may then roll again or pass to the next player. If you pass, any pennies on the board stay where they are for the next player to deal with. If you roll a number with a penny already on it, your turn is over and you must take ALL of the pennies on the board and add them to your pile. 6 is a free spot however. If you roll a 6, place it in the hole at the center of the game. That penny is now out of the game and will not come back until the game is over. Push your luck to get rid of pennies, but don’t blow it or you will end up with more than you started with!
