Chinese chess an old and fun game.,

This review is from: Chinese Chess: An Introduction to China's Ancient Game of Strategy (Paperback)
A solid game overall, simple to use but could use an advice system when learning the game. Perhaps a system of teaching players in different situations so they can hone their skills would be helpful.
