## What is Shogi 4×4?

A shogi game played on a 4x4 grid of 16 squares, with the placement of pieces different each time.
It features a "10-second mode" that tests your ability to make split-second decisions in a short amount of time, and a "3-minute mode" that tests your ability to think ahead and read ahead.

■Rule

② There are four pieces, including the 王将" and "歩", which are assigned to each player and placed on the board.
③ There are two time modes: "10-second mode", where players have 10 seconds per move, and "3-minute mode", where players lose when the time limit is set at 3 minutes.
