How it feels

Feels like a patient, structured classroom lesson where you methodically unlock the layers of an ancient board game step by step.

What players say

Players praise the tutorial and tournament mode for teaching Xiangqi from scratch, though many note the AI is too weak to challenge experienced players. The interface is plain but functional, with options to switch between Chinese and westernized pieces and a dark mode.
