Game Features

  • Unique Game Pieces
    Forget about queens and bishops—here you’ll get to know elephants, cannons, and advisors. Each piece has its own moves, so there’s never a dull moment figuring out surprising strategies.

  • Classic Board Design
    The play area itself is a bit different than Western chess, with special spots like the “river” dividing the board and palaces for your generals. These areas don’t just look cool—they actually affect how your pieces can move.

  • Cannon Challenge
    One of the highlights: the cannon. It can only capture by jumping over another piece, which adds an extra layer of planning and surprise attacks into every game.

  • Strategic Rules
    Watch out—the two generals can never face each other directly across the board. It’s one of those quirky rules that totally changes how you set up defenses and spring attacks.

  • Line Intersections, Not Squares
    Instead of placing pieces inside squares, you line them up on the intersections, which changes how you see the whole game and opens up new tactical possibilities.

  • Rich Tradition
    This isn’t just another board game. It’s played by millions and comes packed with history and depth—once you get a taste, you might just want to learn more.

  • Multi-Platform Fun
    You can enjoy Chinese Chess, Xiangqi on plenty of devices, and if a larger display is your thing, BlueStacks lets you dig in from your PC just as smoothly.

Slay your opponents with your epic moves. Play it your way on BlueStacks and dominate the battlefield.
