Taflheim

TAFLHEIM is a roguelike boardgame inspired by the historical Viking-Age game Tafl. It augments the deep strategic gameplay of Tafl with longship-loads of new content, charming pixel graphics, an original soundtrack, and a healthy serving of humour. Help your king escape Loki's wrath with the help of a wide selection of special pieces, rule-modifying artifacts, and mighty abilities. TAFLHEIM offers a highly replayable experience that is equally enjoyable in short bursts or long binges! Do you have what it takes to thwart the Gods, or will the Trickster's Curse seal your fate?

TAFLHEIM was created in 14 weeks for Game Programming Lab 2026 at ETH Zürich.
