Rulesets

Game Modes

Three theatres of war. Same fog-of-war DNA — different objectives, rosters, and pressure.

Standard roster
Classic

The original Game of the Generals. Each side fields 21 pieces — generals, officers, enlisted, Spies, and one Flag. Capture the enemy Flag or infiltrate it to the back row. Spy rules and the 30-move rule apply.

Expanded battlefield
Head of State

The Flag becomes the Head of State — your highest-value target. Add Drones (kamikaze) and Snipers (beats almost any rank). Privates drop from 6 to 3. Win by capturing or infiltrating the enemy Head of State.

Recommended pace — After-Action Intel

Castor · Pollux
Gemini

Head of State roster plus Pollux and Castor. Capture Castor to win — it cannot infiltrate. Pollux is immortal but freezes after battle until your side loses another piece in combat. Castor vs Castor is a draw.

Recommended pace — All Out War with King Move

Tempo

Battle Paces

Orthogonal to the ruleset — pick how tight the clock is and how much fog you fight through.

Classic
60s per turn

Standard thinking time. Full fog of war — ranks stay hidden until a challenge reveals them.

Rapid
6 min bank / side

Shared time bank instead of per-turn clocks. Forces decisive commits — hesitation drains the bank.

After-Action Intel
Reveal after battle

Fog remains until engagement. After every battle, surviving enemy ranks stay revealed. Memory and adaptation win.

All Out War
No fog

All pieces visible from the start. Pure calculation — no bluff layer. Optional King Move in Gemini: every piece steps one square like a chess king.

Field tip: Pair Head of State with After-Action Intel so Drone and Sniper trades teach lasting lessons. Pair Gemini with All Out War + King Move for open-board immortal Pollux fights.

The Game

A Filipino Classic,
Brought to Mobile

Game of the Generals (also known as Salpakan or Lutong Mahjong) is a two-player strategy board game of Philippine origin. Like chess, it requires strategy and foresight — but unlike chess, all pieces have hidden ranks, making bluffing a core mechanic.

Salpakan is an independent digital adaptation built with respect for the game's legacy and the community that loves it.

Original game credited to Sofronio H. Pasola Jr., 1970.
