How to play

Shepherds cross the field, some on foot and some mounted. Tap only those riding the horse; let the shepherds on foot pass. Catch 8 riders. Tapping an innocent or letting a rider pass counts as a mistake, and three mistakes end the game.

The story behind it

In the saga of Hrafnkell, the chieftain swears to kill whoever rides Freyfaxi and keeps the oath with a shepherd, which leads to his fall. The game is a simplification. Read the story in Hrafnkell and Freyfaxi: the horse no one could ride and the chieftain who lost his gods.
