Description
Le Shogi is a strategic board game designed for two players, created by Mitsuo Yamamoto in 2009. This abstract strategy game is played on a square grid and features point to point movement, requiring players to think critically about their next steps. Although the rules can be complicated and take time to learn, even for experienced board game enthusiasts, the game offers a unique and challenging experience. The game is a variant of shogi, with each player having one of each type of piece, making it a great introduction to the moves of shogi pieces. The goal is to either get your king to the promotion zone or capture your opponent's king, with pieces promoting and captured pieces able to be dropped back onto the board, adding a layer of complexity and strategy to the game.
