Battle Chess II Chinese Chess

Battle Chess II Chinese!

This is a sequel to the original Battle Chess with fantastic graphics! This game takes on a more Chinese approach, both in the rules of the game and the way it is presented. This uses a Chinese variation of the game of Chess. The Queen and Bishop are replaced by Counselors, Ministers, and Cannon. Pieces behave differently than they did in the first Battle Chess. The board is even set up slightly differently. Cannons thunder, chariots race over the grassy fields, and dragons hurl fireballs at opposing forces in the latest animated strategy game from Interplay Productions.

Battle Chess II: Chinese Chess, an ancient cousin to western chess, features stunning graphics, realistic sound effects, and more humourous animation than the original Battle Chess. Watch as dragons toast hapless knights, counsellors flatten pawns with enormous mallets hidden in their robes, and cannons merrily blast away at opponents cowering behind other pieces.

With Battle Chess II: Chinese Chess, Chess is no longer an abstract mental exercise. It is an entertainment that will prove the words of the famous Oriental Philosopher/Chef Kung Pao who said; War is fun! Two things remain exactly the same: The ultimate goal of checkmating the opposing player's king! The Battle chess style animated battles that occur when two pieces contend for the same spot on the board. Witness brutal executions in breathtaking animation as your game pieces triumphantly claim new checkered territories.
