This is a full game. The pieces are 3d printed and then UV printed on them.

The board is made out of 1/8th inch acrylic with a wood like background.

A reference sheet to aid with setup is also provided.

Chinese Chess is played with 32 pieces (16 per player) on a board that is 9 lines wide and 10 lines long. The game is played on the intersections of the game board. The area of play is divided into two territories by a river in the middle of game board. In each territory there is a 3 line by 3 line palace, in which each player's respective General is located. The object of the game is to capture the opponents's General.

The pieces on both sides and their movements & special rules are:

  • 1 General: 1 Point orthogonally within the palace only. Not allowed to ‘see’ the enemy General on an open file.
  • 2 Advisors: 1 point diagonally within the palace only.
  • 2 Chariots: Any distance orthogonally.
  • 2 Cannons: Moves like a Chariot. To capture, it must first leap over an intervening piece of either color.
  • 2 Horses: 1 point orthogonally, then one point diagonally.
  • 2 Elephants / Ministers: 2 points diagonally. Cannot cross the river.
  • 5 Soldiers: 1 point straight forward. Once across the river, can also move 1 point sideways instead.

Pieces capture as they move and never jump. The only exception (for both rules) apply to the cannon.
