Description

Fidchell, which is also called Faery Chess or Celtic Chess, is an ancient celtic game which was mentioned in multiple Irish epics and chronicles. Under the name of Gwyddbwyll it also appears in the Welsh Mabinogion and seems to have been held in peculiar reverence throughout the British Isles. Faery Chess is what emerged from Nigel Suckling's investigations and speculations about the lost game.

The game is played an a board consisting of circles and lines on which the game pieces are placed and can move along. Similar to games like the ancient abstract board game Nine Men's Morris the pieces are first placed onto the board in turn and moved afterwards once all of them have been placed. The capturing of pieces works differently though and is alike to Tafl games: a piece gets captured if a player traps it between two of his own pieces. This even grants him another move with which he may trap another one and so on.

The app features two variants of the game: the basic edition which is easier to understand and where both players are treated equally and the advanced version which has different goals for both players. The general goal is to connect the central Naval stone with the border of the board by forming a connected line of stones.

This app features both game modes for offline play against a human or the computer/AI and asynchronous online play against humans.

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

User's Reivew

4 ★The graphics are good. The app itself is clean with an easy interface. But as a very advanced fidchell player with years of experience the AI is not challenging. I'd be happy to offer tips on strategy if the programmer (s) ever wanted to beef it up.
3 ★This game would b great.except playing human to human...if u want play computer..instead..starting a new game...u cant..not even restart resets it
5 ★Brilliant game, simple player intsrface and controls and the graphics, although simple, are clean and crisp and ideal for the game.
1 ★From what i see the ai sucks...
3 ★Great game, but the computer opponent is soooo slow. I thought the game had froze the first few times it happened
5 ★A very interesting game and surprisingly complex. It plays well, and I am thinking of making a board myself. To improve the game however I would reccomend the following; 1. When playing against human players add a notification system to pet them know when it is their turn. 2. Add a forfeit or draw button as it seems a situation of stalemate can be very possible. I play quite a few strategy games and in this one you really have to think quite a number of turns ahead.
4 ★Calling this game Fidchell is a little far fetched, given that the game play is more akin to Nine Man Morris than Tafl and given that there is a Fidchell Tafl variant already. This is Nigel Sucklings invention based on the interpretation of historical texts descriptions only. That being said, the game is fun. It is more akin to Nine Man Morris in game play, but rewarding all the same (Recommended). It would be great if it were possible to turn off the extra turn for capturing rule. This creates unbalanced game play. It would also be good if it had multiple AI levels like in the version of Tafl (Which is the best to date I've played (**Highly Recommended**)
4 ★I'm giving it 4 stars for originality. Similar to Nine Men's Morris, but much more sophisticated. Graphics are pretty good too. My only gripe is with the rather weak AI - though, considering that (to my knowledge) this is the first electronic version of Fidchell ever, I can sympathize with the difficulties involved in writing an AI for a game of this complexity.
1 ★AI is well.....flawed, if you work outside inward you WIN. Just thought you would want to know.
3 ★No issues with the game or the interface. But the AI is horrible.
1 ★Keeps crashing
5 ★Best
