3297 - Shogi, Standard, board game made of wood, 1-2 players, from 8 years old

Shogi is Japanese chess. This game has a long tradition in Japan. The aim of the game is to capture the opponent's king. The two players do not distinguish their pieces by colour, but the direction of the pointed side. It shows who the pieces currently belong to.

Compared to chess, shogi has delightful differences and additional rules that make the game interesting. One important difference is the capture and replacement of the pieces. This means that they do not become fewer in the course of the game, so that the tide can turn for the players at any time. The second fundamental difference compared to classical chess is the promotion of the pieces, which gives them more possibilities to move. The pieces become stronger and the game more attractive. This game is not only suitable for good chess players who are looking for new challenges, but also for beginners.

Caution: Not suitable for children under 3 years due to small parts which may be swallowed! Danger of suffocation.
