~ Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, The Adventure of the Abbey Grange ~

Bloody plots consume the Seven Kingdoms, as once-loyal bannermen turn against the kings that they had sworn to serve. A procession from Dorne marches north to King’s Landing, intent on exacting vengeance against the Lannisters. Robb Stark moves quickly to reclaim Winterfell, unaware of the dark plots being hatched in Harrenhal and The Twins. And on the continent of Essos, Daenerys Targaryen liberates the city of Astapor from the Good Masters and wins an army of Unsullied in the manner of Old Valyria - with fire and blood!

In HIRp, The Royal Game of Viking Conflict, two players take on the role of opposing Viking kings, or Lofoungr, fighting for control in an archipelago. The Lofoungr are joined on the battlefield by their closest warriors (HIRp) and their boats (Karve), with the land represented by a board with 11 squares.

Each turn you make five moves with your pieces, which include entering the board, entering or exiting a Karve (the boat), and moving between squares on the board. You win the game if you manage to control the five middle squares of the board or force the opposing player's Lofoungr off the board.

Featuring cloth components with embroidered patterns, wood pieces, and an authentic Viking coin replica, this ingenious, portable, abstract game is uniquely crafted to give the feeling of vintage, Viking-era gaming.
