Chinese Chess V+

Looking for an alternative to Western chess? Why not give Chinese Chess, or Xiangqi, a try?

Welcome to the 21st Anniversary Edition of Chinese Chess. Relieve boredom, enjoy yourself, and challenge your mind all at once with this timeless classic board game.

ZingMagic’s award-winning Chinese Chess app offers a fun, engaging, and refreshing change from traditional Western Chess.

Similar to Western chess, the goal is to capture your opponent's King. You control seven types of pieces, each with its own movement rules. The board features both diagonal and horizontal lines—pieces travel along the lines, stopping where they intersect. The empty central area represents the Yellow River, historically dividing northern and southern China. Major pieces enter the action sooner, leading to faster-paced and more dynamic gameplay.

Never played before? No problem. The game assists you every step of the way with hints, legal move indicators, piece movement guides, game info, and 20 difficulty levels—letting you master Chinese chess at your own pace.
