It's Viking Chess. it's been played since the 800s before chess was invented. it's a simple game to learn the rules but very strategic to play

The defenders get 12 pieces plus a King. The attackers get 24 pieces. All pieces move as like Rooks in chess. The object is to get the king to a corner spot.
