Viking Chess, also known as Hnefatafl, was a strategic board game popular during the Viking Age. Played on a gridded board, it featured two unequal sides: attackers aiming to capture the king, and defenders protecting the monarch's escape to a corner. Pieces moved orthogonally, capturing opponents by surrounding them on two opposite sides, and the game offered a fascinating historical glimpse into the Viking culture's love for strategic thinking and board games. Today, various versions of Viking Chess have resurfaced, allowing enthusiasts to relive this ancient pastime. The Chinar motif, intricately carved on the table, adds a touch of Kashmir, creating a unique aesthetic.

The use of walnut wood not only showcases its deep, lustrous tones but also its reputation for fine grain, ideal for detailed carving. Incorporating Viking-style chess pieces, with their historical and cultural significance, adds a captivating dimension to the chess set.
