Fidchess

Fidchess is an attempt to create a chess-like game for Stonehenge, using just the original parts in the Stonehenge game. Its name comes from the Celtic game Fidchell, which has been called “Celtic Chess”. Fidchess has little to do with Fidchell, except that they are both abstract strategy games. The name of the piece are derived from Celtic numbers, except for "Rigant", which means "Lord" in proto-Celtic. Number of players: 2 Object of the game: To either capture an opponent's druid or all 10 of the opponent's disks that are used to make up pieces in the game.
