Goro-Goro D?butsu Sh?gi
DescriptionA simpler version of Shogi or a more complex version of Let's Catch the Lion! (aka D?butsu Sh?gi or animal shogi), using the illustrations and look of the latter. Every player has just 8 pieces (3 chicks, 2 cats, 2 dogs and 1 lion) and try to catch the opponents lion. The board is 5x6 squares, so it's a shorter game than regular Shogi, aimed at getting children even more interested in Shogi after they've outgrown the original D?butsu Sh?gi. Goro-Goro Dobutsu Shogi not only has a bigger board (goro is a contraction of go roku which means five six in Japanese, a reference to the board, as well as goro being onomatopoeic for purring) compared to Dobutsu Shogi, it also adds in some more rules of the full Shogi game: Taken from the publisher's website: The cute animal pieces are now combined with Goro-Goro Shogi, a small shogi on 5x6 square board. This is a very good next step for everyone who has played Dobutsu Shogi. The rules of Goro-Goro Shogi was invented by Japan Shogi Association, and is widely known to be a very good variation of shogi to learn important concepts in shogi, such as handling the generals effectively, importance of promoting a pawn, and mating the opponent's king with successive piece drops. Cats and dogs run and play in this small board. Highly recommended. Please have fun! Game DiscussionsAdd CommentYou need to be logged in to comment. Insert Bullet List Please enter at least one item.
