As you can see, it takes all the in-play pegs with it and might allow you to shoot across to your base in one turn!Īdditionally, if you have a peg in the space that ends up directly in front of the arrow, you can now move that peg to any spot on the board. At the beginning of every player’s turn they will roll the die and move the entire board so that the fixed arrow points at the resulting number. Not only does it prevent you from moving through the center of the board, it will also control the movement of the board. You can jump as many times as you like as long as it is one continuous movement. On your turn you will either move one peg one space in any direction or jump over yours or an opponent’s pieces to an empty space on the opposite side. Movement is identical to the original as well. Setup for a game by placing your pegs in the base directly opposite of your home base. You must be the first to get all of your pieces into the matching colored base. The object of Orient is the same as the classic version of Chinese Checkers. The board is designed in a way that makes it look like you’re climbing upwards, but it’s not really a 3rd dimension of play. The game of Orient is billed as a “3 Dimensional Chinese Checkers”, which is technically true if you consider rotation its own dimension (I do not). But there was a still-sealed bag of Battleship-like pegs and a die!? This was no ordinary version. As always, we opened it in store to count the components. When I first saw this copy of Orient at our Goodwill, I mistook it for a normal version of Chinese Checkers. Some of them even have really unique and cool marbles!
I still buy really old ones just to admire the artwork. Like most of you, the marbles were eventually lost and it became a three player game instead of four, five or six.
It was a favorite of mine when I was younger. Whenever we shop at thrift for games, a common title we see is Chinese Checkers.
