Capture the Flag, Break the Army
Play Junqi free in your browser. No download or sign-in needed for casual play.
Junqi Arena
Junqi Arena is a free browser version of Junqi, also known as Chinese military chess, Chinese army chess, or Lu Zhan Qi. Practice against computer opponents, play Junqi with friends online, or learn the rules through the interactive tutorial.
Play against the computer or friends
Practice Junqi against the computer, or create a multiplayer room and share its link with friends. Bots can fill empty seats, so you can learn the four-player Four Nations Military Chess format before joining other players online.
Learn Junqi rules as you play
Junqi uses hidden armies, military ranks, roads, railways, camps, mines, bombs, engineers, and flags. The site keeps rules, tutorial lessons, and live play close together so beginners can understand movement and combat while experienced players can focus on setup, deduction, teamwork, and flag capture.
Practice real Si Guo Junqi strategy
The four-player format rewards more than memorizing ranks. You need to protect your own flag, read enemy formations, decide when to reveal information, coordinate with your ally, and use railways or camps at the right moment. Junqi Arena is built for quick browser play without losing that strategic depth.
