36 Stratagems. One very unfair chessboard. Xiangqi Traveler is an HD-2D pixel skill-based Xiangqi × roguelite adventure .

Some reshape the board at the start, some trigger when you move, and some chain off captures and checks. Effects that fire at the same moment resolve left to right, so the order you...
