One of the World’s Great Board GamesChinese chess, xiangqi, is one of the most popular board games of all time. From the same roots as the Western “international” chess, it proves to be surprisingly dynamic and poses unique challenges – with combinations and intricacies not found in other chess forms.Easy to Learn with Familiar PiecesPerhaps the greatest learning challenge for non-Chinese players is the simple lack of familiarity with the Chinese characters, which identify the pieces in a standard Chinese set. Here, where standard chessmen are used, this problem is immediately alleviated, and the new player can at once attend to the challenges and joy of the game. Although the player will have to learn the unique features that make Chinese chess so exciting, the convenience of familiar pieces goes a long way in bringing the concepts home, making the game engaging from the very beginning. Very Good Tournament QualityThe chessmen are tournament standard, made so solid plastic with a 3¾ inch tall king. The traditional Chinese playing mat is approximately 20 x 18 inches. These pieces may be used to play standard chess as well, on a standard size chessboard (not included)Rules included in EnglishThis set comes with a clear 4-panel rule booklet in English. The rules of play are laid out very well, with illustrations and explanations of everything needed to play.Shipping, etc…Shipping within the U.S. is by USPS Priority Mail, usually arriving within 2 or 3 business days.
