Read full description

鬥獸棋 Classic brings the traditional animal chess strategy game to iPhone and iPad with a soft, polished board, cute animal pieces, two-player pass-and-play, and solo play against the computer. Move through rivers, traps, and dens as lions, tigers, elephants, rats, and more compete for the rival den. Each animal has its own rank and movement style, so every turn asks for a tiny tactical choice: protect the den, cross the river, bait a capture, or sneak through with the smallest piece on the board. Features: - Classic 鬥獸棋 / Jungle Chess rules - Play against the computer - Two-player pass-and-play mode - Cute high-quality animal portraits - Calm jungle background music with a setting to turn it off - Designed for portrait play on iPhone and iPad
