Let's Catch the Lion (CN)

Ref: SHOGICN
MYR80.00 MYR72.00

A simple version of Shogi

Every player has just 4 pieces (Chick, giraffe, elephant and lion) and try to either catch the opponents lion or promote the lion to the other side. The board is just 3x4 squares, so its a rather short game, aimed for interesting kids in Shogi. But even if you are adults, it is enjoyable.

Interesting notes:

The giraffe moves like a rook, but limited to one-space movement.

The elephant moves like a bishop, but limited to one-space movement. Interestingly, in XiangQi and Tamerlane Chess, the elephant moves precisely two spaces diagonally.

The chick is directly analogous to the pawn/soldier of Shogi, promoting to a full-grown chicken, equivalent of the gold general in Shogi.

The lion is analogous to a king, except that he can win essentially by promoting, as long as it doesn't leave him in check.

Even on this 3x4 board, you are still able to drop in pieces that you captured from your opponent!
Unlike in Shogi, you can drop a chick for mate or have two chicks in a column.
