Editor’s Review

Overview
Elephant Chess Flip (象棋翻翻) is a strategic board game blending classic Chinese Chess (Xiangqi) with an innovative fog-of-war mechanic.

Key Features
1. Hidden piece setup: At the game's onset, all pieces are face down, unveiling only when activated by players.
2. Color allegiance determination: The color of the first flipped piece assigns that player to the corresponding side.
3. Dual play modes: Compete against another player or AI, aiming to be the first to capture all enemy pieces.
4. Endgame conditions: Achieve victory by eliminating opponent's pieces or end in a draw if no pieces remain for both players.
5. Limit movement: Players can move one piece, but only one square per turn, except for cannons in classic mode.
6. Rank-based capture system: Subsume opponent’s pieces following a structured order of strength from high to low rank.

Interesting Gameplay
1. Cannons capture: In Classic Mode, the cannon must jump over a single intervening piece to capture, yet moves without leaping when not capturing.
2. Mutual annihilation: In Classic Mode, if pieces of the same rank confront each other, both are removed from the game.
3. Retro mode specificity: Cannons cannot capture by leaping over other pieces, and the initiating piece captures the defensive piece when of the same rank.
4. Alternating turns: Players take turns maneuvering pieces as chess dictates – one move, one piece at a time, vertically or horizontally.
