Description

Tagline: "Mythical Creatures Locked in Mortal Combat." Shing-Shang is a chess-like game played on a 10x8 grid. The object of the game is to advance "dragon" pieces onto the opponent's protected area of the board. You control 2 dragons (which move by jumping over and capturing other pieces - as in draughts), 4 lions (can move one space each, or by jumping over other lions or dogs) and 6 dogs (moves 1 or 2 spaces or by jumping other dogs). Note: This is not the same game as Bushi (1977), which was released as Shing Shang in France. (Confusingly, both this game and Bushi were designed by Henri Sala.)
