Available in three sizes, it is designed for players who want a beautiful Chinese Chess set for everyday play, travel, collecting, or gifting.
Traditional Chinese Chess with a Meaningful Design
Xiangqi has been played in China for centuries, and its pieces are more than simple game markers. Their traditional characters represent the different roles on the battlefield, with the General at the center of the game and Advisors, Elephants, Horses, Chariots, Cannons, and Soldiers supporting the strategy.
The round form of the pieces and their flat bases also reflect traditional Chinese ideas of balance and harmony, giving the set a distinctive cultural character beyond the game itself.
Solid Birchwood Pieces with Gold Characters
Each chess piece is made from solid birchwood, showcasing the natural grain and warm texture of the wood.
The Chinese characters are carved into the pieces and finished with a gold-colored detail, creating a distinctive traditional appearance while making the characters easy to recognize during play.
The smooth, rounded pieces feel comfortable in the hand and provide the satisfying tactile experience that makes physical Xiangqi so enjoyable.
Roll-Up Leather Board for Easy Travel
The leather board rolls up for convenient storage and transportation, making this Xiangqi set easy to take to a friend's home, office, club, or on a trip.
When you are ready to play, simply unroll the board and set up the pieces. Its compact design makes it a practical choice for players who want a traditional Chinese Chess experience without a bulky wooden board.
