Game Info
Billed as "an adaptation of Chinese Checkers" for only two players, 'Cheno' is an abstract space or alignment game in the vein of a simplified Halma, using only a 5x4 grid. Two players, red and green, each have a back row of five counters on a 5x4 grid. On each turn, one counter can move one space forward or back, left or right, or jump an opponents' counter. The player who gets all their counters, in numerical order, on to the opponents' numbered spaces wins the game. The game board's art includes minimally stereotyped representations of Chinese mothers and children, flowers, and butterflies, as well as some Chinese characters. Unfortunately, the English title and Arabic numerals are depicted in a supposedly "Chinese"-style typeface.
