How to Play Piaoyao Battleboard

Piaoyao Battleboard is a game where you hit enemy units and push them out of the arena ring. The goal of the game is to eliminate all enemy units before your opponent pushes out all of yours. Here is how to play Piaoyao Battleboard:

1. Deploy Desired Units Before Battle Starts

Deploy Desired Units

The game starts with a formation that is pre-determined. You can change the formation of the pieces or change the amount with the unit list at the bottom of the screen during the Deployment phase.

Each unit has its own abilities, however, you can only deploy up to 5 units.

Piaoyao Battleboard Unit List

Unit Type Description
Piaoyao Archer Archer

Once you confirm your formation, the game automatically flips a coin to see who goes first. The player chosen will take the first turn. Note that opponent pieces cannot be destroyed during the first turn.

3. Choose a Piece to Attack With

Choose a Piece to Attack With

On your turn, choose a piece to attack with. Hold and drag the chosen piece to adjust how far and how fast they will travel. Remember that each unit has its own ability, so some units will travel quicker while others will be slower.

4. Win by Eliminating All Enemy Units

Win by Eliminating All Enemy Units
