Game of the Seven Kingdoms
Variant of the Chinese game xiangqi / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Game of the Seven Kingdoms (Chinese: 七國象棋, p qī-guó-xiàng-qí ;) is a seven-player variant of the game xiangqi ("Chinese chess"). It is traditionally ascribed to Sima Guang, although he died well before the 13th century, to which this game is traditionally dated. The rules of the game can be found in his book, 古局象棋圖.[2][3] There is skepticism regarding the game's 13th-century formulation.[4]
