English instructions have an error in describing how the cannon captures, implying that it can kill an enemy soldier next to it cause it's lower rank. It can't, obviously. Game AI is fairly bad. If you get a phone call while in game and then return to it, it always resets the game back to start, which is quite annoying. Still, a decent quick time-killer, especially if you like winning (since again the AI player is quite bad)

Worst game AI

Frankly, it's just not a very strong player... and that's too bad.

It was a very good pass time game. But this version has a serious bug. Too many "Elephants". It is not supposed to be in this way.

I'm sure the AI cheats. I happened on an ending when it said I won, but it still had two possible canon moves it did not see.

BUT, would love if it had stats and more levels than just easy & normal. Also dislike that if I get a call during play I lose my game completely!

I enjoy playing this game (also known as Banqi or Banchi). This implementation has a nice looking user interface. Unfortunately some of the captured pieces are hidden by the advertisements. The AI is quite weak (seems to only look ahead one move). The game tries to compensate for the weak AI by tweaking the randomness when pieces are turned over. That helps make it more challenging, but significantly changes the tactics (compared with the real game). Even with those issues, I play it frequently, but I would love to see it improved, and would gladly pay to remove the advertisements.

Simple. Great Game! No undo button for mistakes. Game intellect on lower capacity. which keeps game interesting so good job;p and the back button turns off your current progress with no resume button to continue from last move. Just these few additions and I give game 5×(5*)

The game is not bad, but why programmed it so it is more disadvantaged for the gamer and advantaged for the computer? The computer's pawn is often placed right next to my King, and the computer's Canons are always placed in one piece away from King or other big pieces. This does not make the game harder, but impossible to win. I think it will be better if the pieces are placed randomly. There's no need to have different levels.

This game cheats in the way it sets up the pieces, especially with its canons having clear shots, and ours having none. It seems odd that it puts its major pieces right next to these, but I only have pawns around the computer's. Luckily, the computer is stupid.

A game of luck and skill, playing with a friend bring the fun factor to another level. Computer's ai is not very challenging unless you are really unlucky.

Like draughts or chess, but because pieces are unknown until the are revealed by the player a game can end in failure even if you look as though your walking it and vice versa of course.

Poor AI. I won a game because the oponent could no more move his pieces but his cannon could still move and kill my pawn. Love this game!
