Changkhui: Board Games

From a board game, we shifted to a card game. Rueng and Aey played bridge during their college days. They brushed up their old skills and showed how to play the game. This was a card game that was still popular in Thai university and still compete at the Thailand annual university game.

The final episode on Chinese Chess. The last variation was called Half-board, because it only took half-board to play. This must be a frustrating experience for Boy as he had to reveal his every move, while the situatuation was getting worse with each play. Of couse, at the same time, Chai must be speaking in his mind about how much luck he had bagged on this episode.

Due to technical reason, we had to re-record this episode. Chai and Boy explained a variation of Chinese chess called Lep Tui. This was quite popular among university student in Thailand for those who enjoyed board games.

Boy and Chai demonstrated how to play it. This was a real competition, and they did get carry away with the game. Unfortunately, there was something wrong with our microphone, so we did not have the audio of the late 5 minutes of the show, but we hoped you enjoyed it.

Joey from ZadZad.Com dropped by to tell us some history about the Chinese chess, namely, Xiangqi. Chai was not able to join us on this episode. Boy did the moderation. Joey was an expert about China, he was born and raised there. Too bad, we had to do the voice over earlier in the episode for 3 minutes due to video camera malfunction. Hope the content make up for it.

For the very first episode, we showed how to play Chinese chess board. This is quite different from traditional chess games, including Thai. To start with, the board is different, and all the pieces are written in Chinese characters. Boy and Chai hosted the show.
