This project is the first part of a larger, multiple-part project.
Overview
'San jin' is a chess-like game played on a standard 8x8 square board between two opponents. The objective of the game is to destroy two out of the three of your opponents’ pieces before they do the same to you. Unlike chess, players start the game by placing their pieces on the board. Once the pieces are in place, the players take turns moving one piece at a time. A piece is destroyed when two of a player's pieces can attack an opponent's piece. The rules are fully documented and will be provided to the winning bidder.
