X is the rarest letter for hobbies — but Xiangqi stands out as a deeply strategic two-player board game with centuries of history, and well worth exploring.
All 3 hobbies and interests that start with X
- Xeriscaping (Nature & Exploration): Xeriscaping is designing a yard that thrives on local rainfall. You'll learn plant grouping, soil work, drip irrigation, and mulch, then watch a garden get easier and cheaper to keep each year.
- Xiangqi (Games & Strategy): Master the art of tactical maneuvering on a uniquely designed 9×10 board, where elephants, horses, and cannons create a dynamic battlefield of strategy and foresight.
- Xylophone (Music): A beginner's pick of the mallet percussion family: wooden xylophone, warmer marimba, and bright steel glockenspiel. Covers the real differences, costs, first-month practice, and where to find teachers and groups.
