![]() ![]() An expanded version of the Land Battle Chess game also exists, adding naval and aircraft pieces and is known as Sea-Land-Air Battle Chess (Hai Lu Kong Zhan Qi). A third player is also typically used as a neutral referee to decide battles between pieces without revealing their identities. The major differences between the two games is that in Jungle, the pieces are not hidden from the opponent, and the initial setup is fixed.Ī modern, more elaborate, Chinese game known as Land Battle Chess (Lu Zhan Qi) or Army Chess (Lu Zhan Jun Qi) is a descendant of Jungle, and a cousin of Stratego: the initial setup is not fixed, both players keep their pieces hidden from their opponent, and the objective is to capture the enemy's flag. Lu Zhan Jun Qi's basic gameplay is similar, though differences include "missile" pieces and a Chinese Chess-style board layout with the addition of railroads and defensive "camps". ![]() The board, with two lakes in the middle, is also remarkably similar to that in Stratego. ![]() The game Jungle also has pieces (but of animals rather than soldiers) with different ranks and pieces with higher rank capture the pieces with lower rank. The origins of Stratego can be traced back to traditional Chinese board game "Jungle" also known as "Game of the Fighting Animals" (Dou Shou Qi) or "Animal Chess". Players cannot see the ranks of one another's pieces, so disinformation and discovery are important facets to gameplay. The objective of the game is to find and capture the opponent's Flag, or to capture so many enemy pieces that the opponent cannot make any further moves. Each player controls 40 pieces representing individual soldier ranks in an army. Stratego is a strategy board game for two players on a board of 10×10 squares. ![]()
