How to Play

Shift your pieces according to their individual movement rules. The King can only travel one square at a time within the palace. Guards can only move diagonal moves within the palace. Bishops move exactly two squares diagonally and cannot jump over pieces. Knights move one square straight and then one square diagonally, but can be blocked by adjacent pieces. Chariots move any number of squares straight, acting as powerful attackers. Cannons move like chariots but must jump over exactly one piece. Pawns 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 outmaneuver the computer opponent.
