HOW TO PLAY
1

Instead of a fixed setup, each player secretly arranges their own back-row pieces behind a row of pawns.

2

Once both sides are set, gameplay begins with pieces moving similarly to international chess equivalents.

3

Capture enemy pieces by moving onto their square, following each piece's individual movement pattern.

4

Watch for the promotion square where a pawn that reaches it can be upgraded to a stronger piece.

5

The game ends when a player's general (king) is trapped with no safe move remaining.
