About this game

Chinese Chess board game against a computer opponent. To win you need to capture the general of your opponent.

How to Play

Place your pieces according to their unique movement rules. The General can only step one square at a time within the nine-pointed star. Advisors must stay within diagonal moves within the palace. Ministers move exactly two squares diagonally and cannot move to the opponent's side. Horses move one square straight and then one square diagonally, if not impeded by adjacent pieces. Chariots move any number of squares straight, serving as powerful attackers. Catapults move like chariots but must jump over exactly one piece. Soldiers move forward one square and attack sideways after crossing the river. Take the opponent's general to win the game. Plan your moves carefully to defeat the computer opponent.
