目標
吃光對手所有的棋子，或讓對手輪到時無棋可走，就獲勝。
開局
- 4×8 棋盤，32 枚象棋棋子全部蓋著洗亂。每方：帥／將 1、仕／士 2、相／象 2、俥／車 2、傌／馬 2、炮／包 2、兵／卒 5
- 第一個翻棋的人，翻到什麼顏色就是那一方的顏色，對手是另一色。先手每局輪流
每一回合（三選一）
- 翻棋：翻開任何一枚蓋著的棋（不論翻到哪一色）
- 移動：自己一枚翻開的棋往上下左右走一格到空格
- 吃子：吃掉相鄰（上下左右）一枚翻開的敵棋
大小與吃法
- 將 > 士 > 象 > 車 > 馬 > 炮 > 卒，大吃小、同級可互吃
- 例外：將不能吃卒，卒可以吃將
- 炮：不能吃相鄰的棋，必須沿直線隔一枚棋（翻開或蓋著、任何顏色都算）跳吃，距離不限，可吃任何等級的敵棋；炮平常一樣只走一格
- 蓋著的棋不能被吃
勝負與和局
- 對手棋子（含蓋著的）全部被吃光，或輪到對手時沒有任何合法動作，你就贏
- 連續 50 手（雙方合計）沒有吃子也沒有翻棋，判和局
- 勝場與最長連勝會記錄。對局中重新整理會接續同一局；按「認輸 / 新局」算輸
Goal
Capture all of your opponent's pieces, or leave them with no legal action on their turn.
Setup
- A 4×8 board with all 32 xiangqi pieces shuffled face down. Each side: 1 General, 2 Advisors, 2 Elephants, 2 Chariots, 2 Horses, 2 Cannons, 5 Soldiers
- Whoever flips first takes the colour of the piece they turn over; the opponent plays the other colour. The first player alternates every game
Each turn (pick one)
- Flip any face-down piece (whatever its colour)
- Move one of your face-up pieces one square up, down, left or right to an empty square
- Capture an adjacent (orthogonal) face-up enemy piece
Ranks and captures
- General > Advisor > Elephant > Chariot > Horse > Cannon > Soldier. A piece captures equal or lower ranks
- Exception: the General can not capture a Soldier, and a Soldier can capture the General
- Cannon: never captures an adjacent piece. It captures by jumping over exactly one piece (face up or face down, either colour) in a straight line, at any distance, and can take any rank. It moves one step like the others
- Face-down pieces can't be captured
Winning and draws
- You win when all of the opponent's pieces (face-down ones included) are gone, or when they have no legal action on their turn
- 50 turns in a row (both players counted) with no capture and no flip is a draw
- Wins and your longest win streak are recorded. Refreshing mid-game resumes it; Resign / New counts as a loss
