History

Chung-toi was created by W. Reginald Chung and was published by Design Science Toys. Chung took time off of his engineering career to create the game for his children. Based off the game tic-tac-toe, Chung-Toi was designed with the intent of being educational and challenging, but also simple to learn. The publisher, Design Science Toys, sadly went bankrupt as of 2005.

The Board

Chung-Toi is played on a tic-tac-toe (three-row, three-column grid).

The Pieces

The first player has three red pieces and the second player has three white pieces.

Rules

To win: Arrange your pieces in a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal line of three.

There are two phases in a game of Chung-Toi:

First Phase: Each player takes turns placing one of their pieces on the board. Each piece is placed either in a "+" or "x" orientation.

Second Phase: Begins once all pieces have been placed. Players take turns either (1) sliding pieces of their own color, (2) rotating a piece in place, or (3) passing their turn. Pieces in a "+"" orientation can only slide horizontally and vertically and pieces in a "x" orientation can only slide diagonally. When a piece slides, it must slide into an empty slot but it can jump over any piece that blocks its path between its departure and destination slot. After sliding a piece, the player chooses to change or keep the piece's orientation.
