Thai board game related to chess. Presumably, it comes directly from the ancient Indian game of Chaturanga, considered the ancestor of modern chess. In Thailand, the game is more popular than classical chess.
How to play?
The usual moves of the king, rook and pawn are the same as chess ones: the king moves one square horizontally, vertically or diagonally, the rook moves any number of free squares vertically or horizontally, the pawn moves one square forward and attacks one square diagonally forward.
The game can be played with artificial intelligence, together with another person on the same device, or with an opponent online in multiplayer mode.
