Too small on iPhone

Can’t be played. Brilliant numbnuts.

Great Game but I can’t find anyone online, and can’t delete my profile

For both fidchell and Hnefatafl I made a profile to play online after practicing with the AI, but couldn’t find anyone. Now I’m trying to delete my profile but even after following the directions it won’t let me delete it.

I’m so grateful for this!!

Its crazy, I’ve wanted to learn fidchell for ages, but my first issue was I didn’t know where to learn, and second, I have no one to play it with. This solved all of that, and for free?? Go raibh maith agaibh!

Almost perfect

Awesome game very fun to play with friends I only docked a star because the AI in the game makes solo play nearly impossible it seems as though it has a win calculated from your first move and quickly dominates you

Challenging

This game is amazing for skill and thought. Very challenging but so much fun
