Junqi Arena
Junqi Arena is a place to play Junqi online, also known as Lu Zhan Qi, Chinese military chess or Chinese army chess. Practice Four Nations Army Chess against bots, play online with other players, or learn the rules through the interactive tutorial.
Start with bots or online rooms
Open the game board and begin with a solo practice match, or move into multiplayer when you want a live Four Nations Army Chess table. Bot seats make it easy to learn the flow of a full four-player game before inviting friends or joining other players online.
Learn the Junqi board 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.
Questions before you play
Can I play Junqi online for free?
Yes. You can start in the browser for free, practice against bots, create a multiplayer room, or join other players when public games are available.
Do I need an account to play?
No account is required for quick practice. Signing in is useful when you want a player identity for online rooms and match-related features supported by the site.
Can I play with friends?
Yes. Create a multiplayer room and share it with other players. If a room is not full, bots can fill empty seats so the Four Nations format still works.
