Magnets

A total of 163 magnets are used in this game, be sure to have some in spare as well. The magnets are super magnets measuring Ø3mm x 1mm, glued in place for secure gameplay. It can be a bit challenging to insert them, so make sure all magnets are aligned correctly. A helpful trick is to assemble one game piece first and use it as a reference. Applying a dab of superglue on the magnet and holding it in place on the board works well.

Take your time, check the magnet directions often, and consider investing in some de-bond

Credits and disclaimer

This interpretation of the mythical Fidchell was proposed by Nigel Suckling after his extensive reading and study of sagas and myths that reference the game. In collaboration with him, we at Nye Dimser are proud to present a 3D-printable version of the game, incorporating a few modifications to the rules and board. To be clear - no board has for certain been found, therefore this version is based on speculation.
