Field notes
The catalogue does more than list titles: many entries explain a governing constraint in a sentence, such as shared tigers, reserve pieces, side-switching captures, or a requirement to move two pieces every turn. The collection includes several named variants of related games, including multiple forms of Cannon Chess, Flying Chess, Morris, and tiger games. Chinese and English labels appear together, making the archive easier to navigate across languages.
