Aeroplane Chess Instructions
Aeroplane Chess is a fun, fast-paced, and easy to learn classic Chinese board game enjoyed by adults and children alike. Also known as Flying Chess or Airplane Chess, Aeroplane Chess is very similar to the game Ludo, in which the object of the game is to try to move all your pieces across the finish line while preventing your opponents from doing the same.
Objective
Be the first player to move all four of your planes to the last space at the center of the board.
Gameplay
1. |
Each player takes turns rolling the die. |
2. |
Once rolled, the player can choose which of his/her planes to move. Only planes which have left the hangar can be moved. |
3. |
The selected plane will move the number of steps shown on the rolled die. |
4. |
In order to move a plane out of the hangar, a 6 must be rolled. |
5. |
If a player rolls a 6, he/she gets another turn. |
6. |
If a plane lands on another plane of a different color, that bottom plane is returned to its hangar. |
7. |
If a plane lands on a space that is the same color as the plane, that plane can jump ahead four spaces. |
8. |
The game board contains 4 shortcuts, one for each player. If a plane lands on the space where the shortcut begins, that plane can fly across the board bypassing numerous spaces. |
9. |
When a plane lands on the last space at the center of the game board, that plane is removed from the game. Note that a plane must actually land on that last space. If it exceeds the last space, it will start moving backwards. |
10. |
Once all of a player's planes are removed from the game, he/she wins. |
