ABOUT THE GAME

Chinese Chess - Cyber Arcade Xiang Qi pairs the familiar Chinese chess board with a vivid arcade presentation. The river, palace markings and Chinese-character pieces remain at the centre of the experience, framed by neon colours and a dark backdrop.

Online multiplayer puts another player on the other side of the board. Invite a friend to open the game, choose Online Match and follow the in-game setup to play together. Study each other’s moves, anticipate the next reply and build a friendly rivalry one match at a time.

PLAN YOUR NEXT MOVE

Look across the whole board before focusing on one piece. Consider what your opponent threatens, what your move leaves exposed and whether your pieces can support each other.

BEFORE YOU PLAY

How do I play with a friend?

Can I practise alone?

Yes. Use the AI option when you want to learn the pieces or practise before a multiplayer match.

Is this the same as Western chess?

Xiang Qi is Chinese chess, with its own board, pieces and movement rules. Familiarity with other chess games is useful, but check the instructions rather than assuming the rules are identical.
