Description
Chinese Chess is a strategy board game that's all about outmaneuvering your opponent on a 6x6 grid. Despite its name, it doesn't have any connection to the traditional Chinese Chess game, Xiangqi. Instead, it offers a unique twist on grid movement, where players take turns moving pieces and trying to capture 13 of them. The game starts with the board filled with pieces, except for a central 2x2 area, and players can jump over same-colored or different-colored pieces, depending on their turn. The game requires strategic thinking and planning, as players need to think ahead to set up multiple jumps and outsmart their opponent. With a playtime of just 20 minutes, Chinese Chess is a quick and engaging game that's easy to learn, even for those familiar with board games. Published in 1981, it's a classic abstract strategy game that's perfect for two players looking for a fun and challenging experience.
