Characters

Tiger pieces

Design Concept:
The tiger, king of the forest, embodies raw strength and dominance. Though it has no special abilities, it ranks just below the Elephant, giving it immense power in direct combat. It excels in both offense and defense, making it a core unit in any formation.

Functional Traits:

No special movement, but high combat strength

Can defeat all pieces except the Elephant

Visual Design:
The tiger is captured in a fierce pouncing pose to emphasize its explosive power. The orange variant reflects traditional tiger imagery, while the blue version adds a mystical or modern twist. Heavy lines and bold posture give the tiger a sense of weight and force, contrasting with the eagle’s agility.

Eagle pieces

Design Concept:
The eagle symbolizes agility and aerial superiority. In gameplay, it is granted the special ability to fly over water, making it one of the most mobile units on the board. Although it is the second weakest piece, it can capture the Snake, reflecting the natural predator-prey relationship. This makes the eagle a strategic unit for avoiding danger and launching surprise attacks.

Functional Traits: 

   

Can cross water tiles, unaffected by terrain obstacles

Can capture the Snake piece, despite its lower rank

A unique example of “the weak overcoming the strong” through mobility and tactical positioning
