Similar to Western chess, the goal is to capture your opponent’s King. You control seven different pieces, each with unique movement rules. The board features diagonal and horizontal lines—pieces travel along these paths, stopping at intersections. The central blank area represents the Yellow River, traditionally separating northern and southern China. Key pieces enter the action sooner, delivering a faster and more dynamic game experience.
