⚖️ Cờ Gánh

A Vietnamese folk strategy game almost nowhere online: step your piece BETWEEN two enemies to 'carry' them — they flip to your color. Surround a group with no escape and it flips too. Convert all 16 pieces to win.

Your turn

Move one step along a line to an empty point (diagonals only exist at points where lines cross). 'Gánh': land between two enemies on a straight line through your landing point — both flip. 'Vây': enemy groups left with no empty neighbor flip as well. Only the mover captures — walking between two enemies by THEIR move is safe.
