Description

Billed as "The World's Smallest Shogi Variant," Nana Shogi is played on a 3x3 board with two identical sets of three pieces. Rules are similar to the parent game, Shogi, but some pieces are cubes that can be promoted through a cycle of four faces taken from several other Shogi variants.

The Three Types of Pieces
  • A conventional Shogi king
  • An orthogonally-moving piece (Rook/Chariot/Swallow's Wings/Go-between)
  • A diagonally-moving piece (Bishop/Tile General/Cat's Sword/Dog)
