Generals Online

How to play

  1. 1

    Hide your army

    Place your 21 pieces on your first three rows. Your opponent only sees blank tiles.

  2. 2

    Move and challenge

    Move one square forward, back or sideways. Moving onto an enemy piece is a challenge: the arbiter removes the lower rank (both if equal) and reveals nothing else.

  3. 3

    Take the flag

    Capture the enemy flag, or move your flag to the far row. If an enemy piece is next to it there, it must survive one more turn.
