All the pieces, except the kings, are turned over so you can't see what they are. You mix them up so you don't know what they are, and place them all on the starting points. Then you turn over a piece as you move it. I don't have many more details than this. This is another advantage of using flat pieces--you can turn them over & play variants such as this one.
The game is very similar to Banchi, which can be played online:

Simon  | None | In chinese, this kind of chess is called 'blind chess'. It is played on one side of the board only coz all the 32 xiangqi pieces cover only half the board exactly. | |

For the first move, the closed piece is assumed to be which ever piece that usually occupies that position. You may only move your own piece, if it is closed then it is the piece on your side. Once it is opened, if its colour isn't yours then your opponent gains control of it. If it is a mandarin or king, it can move about in the whole board (they are not confined by the palace. I am not sure whether the elephant can cross the river if it is on the wrong side or not. |
