We are happy to introduce today one of the most played board games on Earth : Xiangqi, also called Chinese Chess. Picture by Drolexandre / CC BY For those who are familiar with Chess: Chinese chess has a lot of similarities with Chess, but is in fact a really different game. Of course, Xiangqi is an abstract game for 2 players where the goal is to capture the enemy King/General. Important note: traditional Xiangqi is using ideograms on pieces, but if you are not familiar with these you choose to display Western pieces instead from the in-game menu / preferences / Piece Style / western. Here are some interesting things to know : _ pieces are placed on intersections. _ the board is crossed by a river (that your Elephants can't cross). _ your General starts in a special zone of the board (your "palace"), with 2 "guards". These 3 pieces are not allowed to leave your palace. _ a Canon is moving a little bit like a "Rook", except for captures: he has to "jump" over another single piece (friend or foe) before capturing a piece after the jumped piece. To learn how to play you can watch this video. Xiangqi adaptation for Board Game Arena has been developed by wucnuc using BGA Studio: thank you a lot for having this idea and for this brilliant adaptation!
