popular ! Viking game purchased by the National Museum of Denmark.

​

I bought a local, limited-edition Viking game at the National Museum of Denmark.

This ancient game is the ancestor of the territory games and chess enjoyed around the world this day.

【Origin】
This game was sought-after in Northern Europe during the Dark Ages, a time when people were constantly on the move and memories were fleeting. It has continually been difficult to learn more about this era, but recent archaeological research has shed light on this game.
As early as 400 AD, it was trending in Scandinavia, the home of the Vikings, and spread to the lands they conquered.
Over the centuries, it evolved, changing its form in various places, and various versions have been unearthed from Ireland to Ukraine.

For the detailed specifications and rules of the game, please refer to the Japanese page of the instruction manual, which I have photographed. ^_^

Unused and brand recent.
