天下大势,分久必合,合久必分。 鼎弈是一款三人对弈的中国象棋:魏、蜀、吴各据一方,六边形棋盘三分天下。 每枚棋子的走法与二人象棋完全相同——会下象棋,就会玩; 玩了之后,才发现是三国。 三分棋盘 —— 三国各九路五线,纵线在河湾两两对接,三条中路会于中央「鼎」点。 車炮兵馬沿线跨河作战,相不过河,士将守宫如常。 三位军师 —— 执一国,与两位 AI 军师博弈:司马懿守成待变,周瑜锋芒毕露, 诸葛亮均衡机动。初出茅庐、运筹帷幄、神机妙算三档棋力,新手与老手各得其所。 三人成局 —— 被将死者出局,余子冻结为障碍;全程吃子计分, 六十回合无吃子按积分裁定名次——摆烂送子,无利可图。 双人视界 —— 点选一位对手,两国投影成一张传统象棋盘,棋子放大一倍, 随时返回全局总览。 也可三人传机 —— 本地热座模式,一部手机,三个人的赤壁。 落子有古琴配乐与木子落枰之声,判词自绢面淡入;悔棋、存档续局、复盘回放俱全。 三人象棋之制始于南宋「三国图格」,历清代「三友棋」至今,鼎弈是对这一脉 谱系的致敬与整理。
