Half a Xiangqi board, every piece face down, and every flip a gamble. The AI works from the same hidden information you do. Cannons capture by jumping, and the general still fears the soldier.
How You WinWin by capturing every one of your opponent's pieces on the board. A player also loses when no face-down pieces remain and they have no legal move on their turn. Eighty consecutive moves with no flip and no capture is a draw.
