Lhŭ fũm (桌戰 Bahlian: /ʎu˥ fũ˩˨/ "board battle") is an abstract strategy board game in the juhsung family originating from Bahl. The objective, like that of other games in this family, is to humble (checkmate) or bare the general.
Rules
Pieces
General
The general (將 tăt) is the royal piece and moves one tile in any direction.
Minister
The minister (士 tiăm) innovates on the juhsung minister by having it move hippogonally (one tile, then two tiles on a 90 degree angle) only straight forwards and backwards, or one tile diagonally.
Flanker
The flanker (翼 kak) moves one tile diagonally. It promotes to the marshal.
Sergeant
The sergeant (帥 gak) moves one tile orthogonally. It promotes to the marshal.
Archer
The archer (箭 mung) moves up to two tiles diagonally.
Chariot
The chariot (車 rạm) moves up to two tiles orthogonally.
Soldier
The soldier (兵 ngię) moves only one tile forward. Once it leaves its initial position, it may capture one tile along its rank. It promotes to the marshal
Marshal
Once a small piece (sergeant, flanker, soldier) reaches the first rank of the enemy, it may be flipped over and promote to the marshal (官 piok). It moves the same as the general, one tile in any direction.
