Jieqi
One link. One game of Jieqi.
Free, no sign-up. Play with friends or against the computer.
Jieqi is xiangqi with 15 pieces per side face down and shuffled; only the two generals start face up. A face-down piece makes its first move as the piece of its starting square (a chariot square moves like a chariot, a horse square like a horse...), then flips to show what it really is; revealed advisors and elephants can go anywhere on the board. When you capture a face-down piece you see what it was, your opponent does not. Playing the computer needs no account; to play friends, create an invite link.
