## What is Gunsuigi?

Gunsuigi is a strategy board game set in a world of warring samurai lords. Place your pieces on a 9x9 board, stack them up to three tiers high, and checkmate your opponent's Marshal.

The higher a piece stands, the farther it can move. Drop pieces from your hand onto almost any square, capture or win enemy pieces over to your side, and build towers that turn the tide. No two matches play out the same.

PLAY YOUR WAY
- Play vs CPU: four levels, from Novice to Advanced
- Ten warlords to challenge, each with their own formation, a special Skill, and a story that unfolds as you win
- 2 Players (one device): pass the device back and forth for a match with a friend
- Online Match: play a random opponent, or share a room code with a friend. Choose sudden death or byoyomi time controls
- Checkmate puzzles: keep checking until the Marshal has nowhere to run, from Mate in 1 upward

CONQUEST
- Road to the Realm: choose a daimyo and fight across 66 provinces to unify the realm
- Plan your battle order, find powerful stack combos, and win retainers and heirlooms to your cause
- Warlords' Gauntlet: a weekly challenge where every player starts from the same warring land. Climb the weekly ranking

MORE TO DISCOVER
- March on the Capital: travel the map with a warlord, gather rewards, and reach the Capital
- Warrior's Journey: win bout after bout and rise through the ranks
- Daily Tasks, Levels, Titles, and Stats to track your progress
- Formations: save your favorite starting setups and jump straight into a match

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.4.3 — 2026-11-12

- The CPU now avoids moves that would lose by repetition through continuous checks. When you play one, a warning appears before the move.
- The Novice CPU now resigns after move 60 if the piece count gap is large. At the move limit, a tie counts as your win against Novice only. Warrior's Journey bouts 1 and 2 follow the same rules.
- New [Play vs Novice] button at the end of the tutorial starts a Novice match right away.
- After your first win against Novice, the result button becomes "Next: Warrior's Journey · Bout 1" (it shows your current bout).
- Starter Book: tasks for days not yet open are now counted. Finished ones show "Done · Claim on day N".
- After you claim Day 1 of the Starter Book, you are asked about notifications. Days 2 to 7 are announced with "Starter Book: Day N is open".
- Today's Puzzle: from 12/1, the 50 additional puzzles come first.
- From 11/17 to 11/30, the Season Pass banner shows that the Snow Moon Campaign starts on 12/1.
- Online: when no opponent is found, the "Play a warlord" offer now appears after 10 seconds (was 30), and again every 60 seconds after "Keep waiting".
- A finishing effect now plays for checkmate, resignation and piece-count wins too (the losing Marshal breaks). It is shorter when you lose.
- The "big capture" effect now plays only when the Marshal, General or Lieutenant General is taken. From the 3rd in a match it is shorter, and a tap dismisses it.
- The "VS" screen at the start of a match can be skipped with a tap, and is shorter from the 2nd match against the same opponent.
- Correct answers in the tutorial now play a bell sound and a piece movement.
- Fixed the game-over screen appearing twice when a CPU resignation overlapped with a dialog.

### 1.4.2 — 2026-11-10

Rule change: a player with no legal moves now loses, even when not in check (was a draw). Risky moves ask for confirmation (not online).
CPU matches end after 100 moves (Novice) or 140 (Beginner); others stay at 200.
During setup, pieces can no longer be placed to take the Marshal right away.
The Advanced CPU reads exchanges further and plays stronger.
On short screens such as iPhone Duo, the board and your pieces in hand no longer get cut off during a match.
Fixed the Daily screen on small phones. The tutorial is offered again after "Later".
Unified wording (formations, pieces in hand, seasons).

### 1.4.0 — 2026-11-07

Today's Puzzle and the 7-Day Starter Book are here.

Today's Puzzle (starts December 1)
Everyone gets the same puzzle each day, a mate in 3 or a mate in 5. You can share your result as an image card that does not reveal the answer.

7-Day Starter Book
A set of tasks for new players. A new task opens each day, and finishing each one earns Diamonds and XP.

English display fixes
Fixed text that was cut off on the Home screen when playing in English.

### 1.3.0 — 2026-11-02

- English language support
- Starter Pack: after your first win against a warlord, a one-time pack is offered for 48 hours (400 Diamonds, XP Boost for 5 matches, and the Title "Rising Banner")
- Retry after a loss: in Warrior's Journey, keep a loss from counting; in Conquest, replay a battle you commanded in person (Diamonds or an ad)
- When you are short on Diamonds, buy the smallest pack that covers it right away
- Season Pass now shows the Premium track rewards you could have received
- Various fixes and improvements

### 1.2.0 — 2026-10-25

1.2.0 の新しいこと
・日課：毎日3つの目標をこなすとダイヤと経験値がもらえます
