Xiangqi for ages 7+: Two kids face off in rounds that never repeat. Play free right in the browser, no account or install needed.
Xiangqi — Chinese chess, and the board you find outside every Vietnamese tea stall — is set up here for two children on one device. Pieces move on the intersections rather than the squares: the General stays inside its palace, Advisors guard it diagonally, Elephants never cross the river, Horses can be blocked by a leg, Cannons must jump a screen to capture, and Soldiers gain sideways movement once they are across. Tapping a piece shows its legal moves, so the rules are picked up in play rather than memorised first. No two games are alike, and kids get practice thinking a few moves ahead.
