Reveal hidden pieces, uncover infiltrators, and outthink a friend in an online Chinese chess match.
How to Play Undercover Xiangqi Online
- Choose an AI difficulty or create a private room for two players.
- The General, Marshal, and all four Advisors start visible and loyal. Every other piece starts covered and shuffled.
- Three covered pieces in each camp secretly belong to the enemy.
- On your turn, either move one revealed piece you control or reveal any covered piece on the board.
- A covered piece cannot move, capture, attack, or give check before it is revealed.
- Being captured or choosing Reveal exposes its real identity.
- A covered piece's background shows its current controller.
- After reveal, the piece changes to its real side and follows normal Xiangqi movement.
- Every action passes the turn. A reveal or betrayal never grants an extra response move.
- Horse legs, Elephant eyes, Cannon screens, palaces, rivers, and facing Generals all apply. An Elephant revealed across the river may return home, but cannot cross again after returning.
- Checkmate wins. While in check, covered pieces cannot move or be revealed in place.
- Private matches allow 60 seconds per turn. A timeout skips the turn; three timeouts lose the match.
