Claudius, a flamboyant gambler, wrote a treatise on how to win at dice, which has unfortunately not survived, but the extent of his passion for gaming may be deduced from a feature of his chariot: a specially constructed board stabilized for play on the roughest rural roads of the empire..

In addition to a king and two mandarins, each player starts with two rooks (chariots), two knights (horses), two elephants (bishops, or ministers; these are restricted to their starting side of the board), two cannons, and five pawns (soldiers).
