About

まるどり将棋

Features
Read full description

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.
