About game
The game is played on a rectangular board that consists of 9x10 lines. Figures are placed at the intersections of these lines. There is also a special river located between the two central horizontal lines, which affects how pawns, knights, and bishops move around the board. Additionally, there are two special areas on the board, created by diagonal lines that form 3x3 squares — these areas are known as palaces. It's important to note that kings and advisors are not allowed to leave these areas during the game.
The game can be played in various ways: against the computer, with a friend on the same device, or against other players online in multiplayer mode. You can also watch other people play and even suggest your own moves for the players by placing them on the board.
How to play
**Shapes:** - The king can only move one square horizontally or vertically inside his palace. - The advisor can only move diagonally one square per turn inside the palace. - Bishops move diagonally two squares at a time. - Cannons move like rooks in chess. - Chariots can move to any available square vertically or horizontally. - Knights make a move one square in a vertical or horizontal direction, and then go one square diagonally. - Pawns move one square forward. **Game ends:** If a king is in check, the player must defend against that check. If the king cannot escape the check, it's game over — this is called «checkmate». A stalemate, where a player cannot make a legal move, also results in a loss. Repeating the same move three times in a row loses the game for the repeating player.Game info
