This rich strategy board game for two players is a cultural cornerstone in China and highly popular in regions with significant ethnic Chinese communities, including Vietnam (where it's known as cờ tướng).

Part of the same revered family of games as Western (or international) chess, Chaturanga, Shogi, Indian chess, and Janggi, Xiangqi offers a unique and intricate challenge. The game vividly simulates a battle between two armies, with the ultimate objective of capturing the enemy's general (king).

Distinctive Features of Xiangqi:

Prepare to explore gameplay mechanics that set Xiangqi apart:

• The Cannon (Pao): A powerful piece that must "jump" over another piece to capture, adding a unique dimension to attacks.
• General's Restriction: A crucial rule prohibits the generals from directly facing each other across the board, forcing players to be mindful of king safety.
• The River and Palace: Specific areas on the board that strategically restrict the movement of certain pieces (like generals and advisors) while enhancing the mobility of others (like elephants).
• Intersection-Based Play: Pieces are placed on the intersections of the board lines, rather than within the squares, altering movement patterns.
