How to play

Shields cover the beach after the battle. Tap a group of two or more neighbouring shields of the same colour to remove them; those above fall. Remove at least thirty-nine of the forty-nine before time runs out. With no groups left, the game is over.

The story behind it

At Fitjar, around 961, King Håkon defeated Eirik’s sons, according to tradition. The shield clearing is made up for the game. Read the story in Håkon the Good and the poem that sent him to Valhalla: the battle of Fitjar according to the saga and the skald.
