How it feels
A slow, deliberate strategy game where each move carries abstract symbolic weight, feeling more like navigating a moral and political allegory than a typical chess match.

What players say
Players say the game has almost nothing to do with standard chess, blending it with Chinese chess instead. The rules feel confusing at first and capturing a piece is a notable challenge that can take around 15 minutes. Some find it relaxing, others frustrating.
