Tabletopper Friday - Hnefatafl Corner Escape

I've posted previously on Hnefatafl (400), the ancient Viking game but this post is specifically highlighting some videos on the Hnefatafl Modern YouTube channel showing the standard Corner Escape version on an 11 x 11 square board.  This is my personal favorite version to play and one I have been modifying into a Dwarven skirmish game within my own Grymvald RPG setting.  Enjoy.

We managed to squeeze in a couple of games with a makeshift board yesterday for Game Like a Viking Day!
