Editorial Review
Instead of working with rooks, knights, and bishops, the ancient Chinese version of chess (also known as
Xiang Qi) deals with elephants, horses, cannons, and generals. This green magnetic chess set comes with flat tile-like game pieces and has its own set of rules: chariots and cannons move like rooks, horses travel like knights, and counselors can only move one diagonal space at a time. Played since the first century A.D.,
Xiang Qi can last for hours and even days, which is why the magnetic feature is especially handy. The board can be mounted to a refrigerator or filing cabinet, making long-term chess matches unobtrusive in the home as well as the office. The board is only 7.25 inches square, so it is exceptionally compact for traveling.
