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.

The app is ad supported. These ads can be permanently deactivated through an one-time In App Purchase (IAP).

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

1 ★Change the next game panel it blocks tge confirm
5 ★This is a programmer who knows his craft and still does not give in to the temptation that has become the curse and scourge of software on mobile devices: ripping consumers off ad infinitum with recurring subscription theft. His titles are priced reasonably as a one-time purchase and well done. Nothing is ever too good to be improved, however, therefore it would be nice to see a continuous enhancement of the computer opponent's playing strength and a couple more themes, first and foremost Celtic
5 ★Good quality game definitely enjoy more
5 ★Very good board game app. Has a nice Celtic type feel and theme as well as associated music.
5 ★Good game But difficult to learn
4 ★Great and fluid app design. Only major criticism is the oddly Norse themed elements that seem out of place for an ancient Celtic game that existed long before the Vikings ever raided Celtic shores. AI should have names that are authentic to the Celtic peoples rather than Norse names, and the art on the board should be Insular Celtic knotwork rather than Scandinavian art. Again, it's a game that was played by Gaels and Britons (probably Gauls too), not the Norse.
5 ★The man who made Hnefatafl, hits another homerun. Can run slow at times, but the ai is insane!
5 ★I've had no problems with this game and I've enjoyed it for a long time.
5 ★Really fun
2 ★Game tends to freeze causing some unwanted and concerning issues on my device such as screen going black for a while and rendering the phone unresponsive. The game's responses to my moves are also slow and takes a while to register that I've made a move. Also, as Fidchell is a Celtic I find it odd that the AI has Anglo-Saxon names rather than Gaelic or Welsh. Due to the issues experienced, I give this only 2 stars.
