About King's Table - The Legend of Ragnarok
Command Odin as he fights for survival in this modern adaptation of Hnefatafl, an ancient Norse strategy board game where the outnumbered king must outmaneuver attackers to reach a corner escape. Face off against legendary Norse warriors and friends in asymmetrical tactical battles where cunning strategy and precise positioning are your only defense against overwhelming odds.
Outsmarted, outmatched, and outplayed, the mighty Valkyrie knows the end is near. She looks up to see Odin’s piercing gaze. He lifts his mighty hand to deal the finishing blow.
He slides the game piece to the corner of the board. “I win,” he whispers.
“Well played,” the Valkyrie mutters, “but can you also defeat your own son, Thor?”
In this modern take on an ancient board game similar to Chess, one side must defend Odin against an onslaught of attackers as he makes his escape to one of the corners of the board. The sides are uneven, leaving Odin ambushed with only twelve soldiers against twenty-four attackers coming from all sides. Use sharp strategy and tactics to help Odin reach safety before he is caught defenseless between multiple assailants!
- Experience an exciting update to the ancient Norse strategy game, Hnefatafl (nef·ah·tah·fel).
- Engage opponents in a game of strategy, cunning, and wit devised by Odin himself.
- Compete as Odin, who must prevail in the Ragnarok Tournament in order to forestall Ragnarok, the end of all things.
- Play against Norse legends such as Vidar, Tyr, Heimdall, Thor, and Frey, or challenge a friend in local competitive play.
- Watch as the game pieces come to life before your eyes to do battle!
- Play the game that even Odin is raven about!

I understand that King's Table - The Legend of Ragnarok is a very old game, and I did not play it when it released at its time. However, objectively judging the game now makes it hard for me to give it a recommend. The game is clunky, dated, and somewhat confusing. Even though the concept was interesting, this has aged very poorly, and there are better "battle chess" like games.4 found this helpful
King's Table: The Legend of Ragnarok is a digital recreation of the ancient Scandinavian strategy game Hnefatafl, developed by Imagitec and published by Ziggurat. Rather than attempting to compete with modern strategy games through flashy mechanics or complex progression systems, it focuses on preserving a centuries-old board game while enhancing it with a classic fantasy presentation inspired by Norse mythology. The result is a niche but rewarding experience that appeals to players who enjoy thoughtful tactical gameplay and retro computer games. The game's central concept revolves around an asymmetrical contest that immediately distinguishes it from traditional chess-like titles. One player commands Odin and a small group of loyal defenders whose objective is to escort their king safely to one of the four corners of the board. Their opponent controls a much larger invading force whose sole purpose is to surround and capture Odin before he can escape. This imbalance creates constant tension because each side requires an entirely different mindset. Defenders must carefully preserve their limited forces while creating escape routes, whereas attackers need to coordinate their numeric…1 found this helpful
https://youtu.be/3SK8VEdNxdk Definitely a variant of chess combined with Othello/go is functional but dragged down the the age of the title and very slow interaction and unclear interactions.
a classic game the o.g. is still best
It's old, and it does a terrible job of telling you what you're supposed to do.
