Norse Games & Vikings in Games (Part 1) with Luca Panaro and Emma Thompson

Joining me in this month's episode of Valhalla Conversations are two academics, Luca Panaro, a PhD candidate at the University of Iceland, in the Faculty of Icelandic and Comparative Cultural Studies; and Emma Thompson, a Midlands4Cities (M4C)-funded PhD Researcher at the University of Leicester, in archaeology broadly but specifically looking at Viking Age and Late Anglo-Saxon mortuary identities.

We unite together to dive into the topic of games played by the vikings and the journey to games where we can play as vikings!

Games discussed in Part 1 are as follows:

Hnafltafl aka Tafl - A traditional Norse strategy table top board game.

Assassin's Creed Valhalla & Orlog
