This is the first time you can play "Catch the Lion" online against human players. "Catch the Lion" is a very cute chess variant played on a 3x4 board and even a little kid can learn how to play within a minute. However, the game is more profound than meets the eye, so it's also good for those who love to think hard. Also, this game is called "dobutsushogi(doubutsushogi)" in Japan. ■voice nanahira(ななひら) © HEROZ, Inc. © Madoka Kitao Maiko Fujita 2013
