About the Game

"Yidao VR Chinese Chess" is a virtual reality tabletop chess game set against the backdrop of ancient Chinese wars. It adopts the classic Chinese chess gameplay rules of horses moving the sun, elephants moving the fields, chariots moving in straight lines, and cannons climbing over mountains. Players will be placed in a virtual ancient battlefield and compete in chess skills with virtual ancient generals in a war-ridden environment. The game supports retaking moves. As long as you defeat the opposing coach (general), you will win.

When players pick up the pieces, a yellow light spot will appear to indicate where they can place a piece. The position for capturing a piece is particularly displayed as a double sword. Even players who are not familiar with the rules of moving can easily experience the classic strategic charm of Chinese chess.

The game has a relatively cumbersome LAN connection function built-in, which allows for local LAN battles by entering IP addresses. Internet battles will be open to all players for free when the player base reaches a certain level!
