Objective
The goal of the game is either to move a piece onto a special square, the den(獸穴), on the opponent's side of the board, or capture all of the opponent's pieces.

Pieces are placed onto the corresponding pictures of the animals which are invariably shown on the Jungle board

Movement
Players alternate moves with White moving first. During their turn, a player must move. Each piece moves one square horizontally or vertically (not diagonally). A piece may not move to its own den.

There are special rules related to the water squares:

-The rat is the only animal that is allowed to go onto a water square. However, some players prefer that the dog is also allowed to go onto a water square, which makes it easier to capture the opponent's rat in the water.
-The rat may not capture the elephant or another rat on land directly from a water square. If the dog is also allowed to go onto a water square, the dog may not capture the rat on land directly from a water square.
-Similarly, a rat on land may not attack a rat in the water.
-The rat may attack the opponent rat in the water if both pieces are in the water. If the dog is also allowed to go onto a water square, the dog may also attack the opponent's rat when both pieces are in the water.
-The lion and tiger pieces may jump over a river by moving horizontally or vertically. They move from a square on one edge of the river to the next non-water square on the other side. Such a move is not allowed if there is a rat (whether friendly or enemy) on any of the intervening water squares. If the dog is allowed on water, a dog (friendly or enemy) on any intervening water square also prevents the lion and the tiger from jumping over the river. The lion and tiger are allowed to capture enemy pieces by such jumping moves.

Capturing
Animals capture the opponent pieces by "eating" them. A piece can capture any enemy piece which has the same or lower rank, with the following exceptions:

-The rat may kill (capture) the elephant. Many published versions of the game say this is done by the rat crawling in the elephant's ear and gnawing at his brains. As stated above, the rat may not capture the elephant from a water square. The powers of the rat resemble those of the spy in Stratego.
-The player may capture any enemy piece in one of the player's trap squares (陷阱) with any of his/her chess regardless of rank.
