This is an unconventional shogi app for people who are interested in shogi but think it is difficult, or who don't really understand shogi but just want to capture pieces! Unlike real shogi, when you capture an opponent's piece, it is converted into "points", and you can place pieces by spending points. You can freely place your pieces at the start of a game, and all unused pieces become your reserve pieces, so you can choose pieces according to your ability. The places where pieces can be moved and the influence of each piece are visually displayed, so even people who don't know how to move pieces can easily get started. Playing the "Tamago Rule" and "Otori Rule" can also serve as practice for real shogi games.

Solitaire Chess is a single-player siege puzzle played on a hexagonal honeycomb board. Pick your side and outwit a sharp AI — every move is a plan. [How it plays] ‧ Two sides, two strategies: as the Attacker, break out from the center and thread along the honeycomb paths to land on any red goal node on the rim; as the Defender, wall the attacker in before it can escape. ‧ A real AI opponent, powered by Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS), with Relaxed and Standard strengths — it never plays soft. ‧ Adjustable board size: radius 10–20 — the larger the board, the deeper the play. ‧ A rule with depth: the Defender can leap diagonally across a complete hexagon. ‧ Multiple board themes you can switch instantly, mid-game. ‧ Touch-mode toggle: "Place" and "Move board" are separate, so panning and zooming never drops a stone by accident. ‧ Stats: win rate and match history at a glance. [Who it's for] ‧ Fans of abstract strategy — chess, Go, and tactics games ‧ Anyone who wants to sharpen logic and spatial thinking in a single match ‧ A quick brain workout for your commute or lunch break [Privacy & offline] ‧ Fully offline — no account, no network required ‧ No ads, no tracking, no personal data collected ‧ All records stay on your device only ‧ Independently built by Intoxicated Child Studio [Free to play, Pro to unlock] The game is free to play. A one-time Pro unlock (non-consumable, yours forever) opens up larger boards, the Standard AI, full stats history, and every theme. Customers who bought the earlier paid version are granted Pro automatically — no repurchase needed. Set your siege on the honeycomb
