These extra pieces looks like some 'mao variant of camel'!
Thanks to David Howe, the mistake has been corrected. This page is now correct, my previous message are not relevant anymore.
There is a big mistake, coming from Stephen Leary's Xiangqi FAQ which was confused on that point: this game is not The Game of Three Kingdoms. It is the Game of Three Friends, Sanyou Qi.
I've just noticed (because it turns up on the 45-cell filter) that this is marked as a 45-cell variant, rather than a 135-cell one.
one more question, do u win by defeating the other two? or one wins after one defeated one or another. if that's so the game could be quite boring, since u can't attack boldly on oneself,(for the other might attack you) and if u can't attack boldly and make good moves, it's no fun about it.. anyways don't quite understand how this works, ...sigh
Just to respond to previous posts: The mid triangle section is just like the river in a regular 1-on-1 game. Meaning it's possible to check both opponents at the same time (or any other moves). I guess it would be less confusing if the lines that made up the triangles are done with dotted lines instead of solid lines. So basically no pieces would ever actually land on any 'points' within the big triangle. And to win the game, you would have to beat both opponents. When I was little, I used to team with my younger brother and play against our dad and it was a good learning experience.

If the player to your right is aptured, the player on the left wins, so in this case, u not only have to guard yourself but a play a part by maintaing the equilibirium of power (just like during the 3 kingdoms).

What if there was a two player version? Or I could just make one myself...
