Battle Chess II: Chinese Chess Overview
Battle Chess II: Chinese Chess adapts the animated combat concept of its predecessor to a different board game. The core mechanics involve moving pieces across a board with the objective of checkmating the opponent's king, but the specific rules and components are based on the Chinese variation of chess.
This results in a distinct set of pieces, such as Counsellors, Ministers, and Cannons, which replace familiar Western chess roles like the Queen and Bishop. These pieces follow unique movement rules, and the board itself is arranged differently. A defining feature carried over is the animated battle sequence that plays when one piece captures another.
