About this game

Thorne and Fang is an asymmetric, turn-based strategy board game inspired by the ancient Hnefatafl tradition.

One side hunts the King. The other must protect him and find a path to safety.

Every move changes the balance.

THE DEFENDERS

Protect the King, coordinate your pieces and break through the surrounding attackers. Reach one of the four corner forts to escape.

THE ATTACKERS

Surround the King, control the board and close the trap. Every opening can become a weakness.

WHY IT'S DIFFERENT

Both sides play on the same board, but fight for completely different objectives.

The attackers have the numbers.

The defenders have the King.

The central throne and corner forts create special tactical positions, while the open 11×11 battlefield gives pieces room to maneuver, sacrifice and surround.

PLAY YOUR WAY

• Play vs AI
Face three levels of opponents, from a relaxed beginner challenge to a much tougher strategic test.

• Pass & Play
Hand the device to a friend and battle on the same board.

• Online Multiplayer
Play asynchronous matches with friends and make your moves when you have time.

• Learn as You Play
Built-in guidance and legal-move highlights help you understand the game without overwhelming you with rules.

A SIMPLE RULESET. A VERY DIFFERENT GAME.

Pieces move horizontally and vertically across the board. Capture opposing pieces by surrounding them between two friendly pieces or against special board squares.

The King has one goal:

Escape.

The attackers have another:

Capture him.

The battlefield is simple. The decisions aren't.

THORNE & FANG

Ancient strategy. Asymmetric objectives. Modern tactical play.

Will you protect the throne...

or break its defenses?
