~|More Information~~
This Celtic Chess set is based on the ancient Irish game of 'Fidchell'. The game was designed by Lugh the Ildána, the Celtic God of Arts and Crafts and set to test the champions of the land of Hibernia. Cuchulainn, one of the greatest of Irish heroes, was said to be a master of the game as it was a requirement of all champions to master the game.
This museum reproduction is created in our Studio in Dublin, Ireland. The design is based on a board that is in the National History Museum in Dublin, which is believed to be made of bog oak and dates from the 9th Century.
The four corner squares represent the four provinces of Ireland and the centre square is the fifth province – Meath, where the High King sat on the Hill of Tara. The High King has eight defenders. There are twelve attackers. The objective of the game is for the High King to travel to one of the four provinces without being captured. With 12 attackers and only 8 defenders how is the King ever to win?
Skill and wit, as ever, holds out!
Full Game rules included.
Board 38 cm x 27 cm
