Chángxíng 長行, a game similar to backgammon, popular around the ninth century CE in China. It is played by two players on a board, one playing with fifteen black pieces, the other with fifteen yellow pieces. Each player moves his pieces in turn according to the throw of two cubical dice, of which the fours have red pips. We have no description of the board, the initial position of the pieces on it, or how exactly they move, but it is known that pieces can be stacked and that a single piece may be hit by the opponent and is then removed from the board.

Wéiqí 圍棋, a two-player game of territorial conquest and encirclement, played, in the modern form, on a square board consisting of 19x19 lines. The pieces are black and white round stones, concave on top and bottom. The players in turn place one of their pieces on an intersection of two lines on the board.  Winner is the player who succeeds in gaining more territory than the opponent. The game is best known in the English-speaking world by its Japanese name go (碁), which itself is an abbreviation of igo (圍碁), the (Sino-)Japanese pronunciation of wéiqí.
