- Trap. A piece that has entered a trap can be attacked by any opponent's pieces.
- Pond. Animals cannot enter the pond except for a rat. Lion and tiger can jump over it.

Shapes:
Each figure has its own rank, indicated by the number at the top.
All the pieces move one square vertically or horizontally, except for the snake and the monkey, which have their own rules of movement.
- A rat beats an elephant, it can enter the water.
- A tiger and a lion can jump over a pond.
- The snake moves one square forward or diagonally.
