Have you guys ever played Chinese chess? It took the Taipei school by storm a few weeks ago!
As there was so much interest around the game (also known as 象棋 xiàng qí) we decided to put together a beginner’s guide to teach you everything you need to know to play
Here’s the link to our guide: Complete Beginner’s Guide to Chinese Chess || Become a Pro
If you HAVE played before, I want to know whether you found it harder or easier than western chess and why?

These graphics are so on point!
We’ve had a lot of fun playing Chinese chess in Taipei, I genuinely love playing it (moreso than Mahjong I’ll be honest)!
Best piece… Has to be the cannon right?

Agreed! Chariots are technically the strongest and worth the most points, but in terms of sheer enjoyment, there’s no beating the cannons

I struggle to think of any move in any game that is as kick-ass as it is gut-wrenching!
I have, but got thoroughly whipped by the local car park attendants who taught me.
I wish they would add it on www.chess.com as an option!
and the pictures below are a little sneak peak
