How to play
- All 32 pieces are shuffled face down onto a 4×8 board. The first piece flipped decides which colour each player owns.
- A turn flips a face-down piece, moves a face-up piece one square orthogonally, or captures an adjacent face-up enemy.
- Rank: general > advisor > elephant > chariot > horse > cannon > soldier. Equal rank captures; the soldier captures the general, and the general cannot capture a soldier.
- The cannon captures by jumping over exactly one piece, any distance in a straight line, and cannot capture an adjacent piece.
- A player with no pieces or no legal move loses; forty turns without a flip or capture is a draw.
