About this app

A Chinese board game also known as Animal Chess

This is a traditional Chinese game that is very popular in China. In the Western world, it is known as "Jungle", "Animal Chess".

The goal of the game is either to guide the figure to a special "lair" field, which is located on the enemy's side, or to capture all enemy figures.

The game contains three playing fields, of various sizes and contents. Ten types of game pieces.

The game can be played with artificial intelligence, together with another person on the same device, or with a rival online in multiplayer mode. You can also watch other players' games, act as a spectator, and offer your own version of the player's next move by making it on the board.

Special fields:
"The lair. The player's goal is to bring any of his pieces into the enemy's lair. The player who manages to do this is considered the winner. The figures cannot enter their lair.
"It's a trap. A trapped piece loses its power and can be attacked by any opponent's pieces.
- The pond. The figures behave differently in relation to the pond. A rat can dive into a pond and fight there against an opponent's rat. Lion and tiger can jump from shore to shore.

Shapes:
Each figure has its own rank, indicated by the number at the top.
All the pieces move one square vertically or horizontally, including backwards, except for the snake and the monkey, which have their own rules of movement.
"A rat." A rat beats an elephant. The rat is the only animal that can enter the water and move on it. A rat in the water cannot hit pieces outside the pond.
- Cat, dog, wolf, leopard. They walk vertically or horizontally in any direction, including backwards.
- Tiger and lion. They can jump over a pond. If there is an opponent's piece of equal or lower rank on the field where the jump is performed, this opponent's piece will be eaten. Jumping is prohibited if there is a rat (either an opponent's or its own) on any of the water cages through which the movement takes place.
"A snake." It only moves forward one square (it cannot move left, right or backward) or diagonally one square, both forward and backward.
"A monkey." Moves one square in any direction, including diagonally, like a king in chess.
- The elephant. The strongest figure. He's only afraid of rats. A rat beats an elephant.
The capture of enemy pieces is carried out in a chess way - if a piece moves to a field occupied by an opponent's piece, then the opponent's piece must be removed from the board. But unlike chess, you can capture enemy pieces with a piece of the same or higher rank. The only exception is the figure of a rat - it can eat an elephant.

The purpose of the game:
- Or lead any of your pieces into the opponent's lair.
- Either eat all the opponent's pieces.

The player who repeats the move three times loses.
