Explore a whole new adventure with Ouk Chaktrang (អុកចត្រង្គ), a Board game created by Happy Naga. Experience great gameplay with BlueStacks, the most popular gaming platform to play Android games on your PC or Mac.
Ouk Chaktrang is a Cambodian take on chess that feels both familiar and totally new if you’ve played international chess before. The main goal’s the same—try to checkmate the other person’s king—but some of the details and traditions are totally their own. For example, saying “Ouk” out loud when you put someone in check is a thing, since that word kind of comes from the sound pieces make when they hit the board. Locally, people usually play this at cafes or barbershops, often in teams, so it’s got that kind of friendly, lively energy, even though it’s just a two-player match on screen.
What’s cool is, Ouk Chaktrang doesn’t force set turns or colors—the first move’s decided by the players, and in casual games, whoever loses gets to move first in the next round. It keeps things relaxed but still competitive. On PC through BlueStacks, things are smoother and there’s an extra level of control, especially moving pieces around with a mouse rather than tapping on a phone. If someone’s curious about chess variants or wants to try something that keeps strategy up but with a different flavor, this one draws them into the way Cambodians play and think about the game. If you’re after something traditional but want a slightly new challenge, this one’s an easy pick. The app also mentions another chess type called Rek, but Ouk Chaktrang is definitely the classic.
