Was gifted a Xangqi board by a Chinese colleague at work. Its a chinese board game kinda like chess but actually a lot different. You can read more about it @ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xiangqi. The pieces for each player have different names. Its gona be tough memorizing the names itself. Dont think Ill ever get to play this mainly cos I wont be able to find someone to play with.
I love the board, it looks antique and I like the wood work. Never been gifted something in a very long time so I guess it felt nice too. Actually I felt great being gifted something so unique.
Here are the pics.
