Any games you can change arrangement. The soldiers and canons can go forward, back ward, right and left, any where step by step. Except when canon shoot it. The soldier can attack any where he want to by next right,next left, next up, next down . You can't attack two at the same time. You can attack once and wait for another move then you can attack again . PLAY RIGHTSIDE for two players. First to arrange in secret , after that you turn them the rightside. You will see both of their faces. So one can't attack another relative rank, they must stay in togetter. When you are higher than him then you can shoot him dead and out, after that you move in to his place . Now you play chess

    [0016] PLAY REVESE for two players and one referee. You arrange in secret, only turn the castle the rihgtside and you play in secret. When the blue shoots red one then the referee will see in secret. If the blue wins puts in the red place and the red out. If the red wins then puts the red one in the same place and the blue out. The referee will not tell the two players who's dead. When one attacks another same relative rank both dead and out .

    [0017] PLAY REVESE for two players. There is no referee. You arrange in secret and don't turn the Castle rightside. You play all in secret. When one attack another then you turn both of them the rightside. Two players will see who's won. The win one moves to losers place and the loser isout. The win one can change with someone at the back and put it back in a place to keep a secret .

    [0018] ONE PLAYER for one person pratise and learn how to play. There are many ways to arrange and how to get victory. You arrange both of them the right side and play . You play like two people. It will help you get more experience every day and should think twice befor doing something.

    [0019] HERE ARE SOME HINTS . The spy and Major General go side by side. If you lose Lieutanant General Don't worry use canons and spy. If you want to break the gate to come in but you can't come in then get another person to make the canon shoot. so you can go in to another gate. If his canon doesn't want to shoot then you will use your canons and shoot in over lap to get his canon out. You will find out when you play game. If the boms protect the castle , nobody can shoot the boms dead and out the game is draw. If you shoot all sodiers and canons out, only boms and castle left then you win .
