中将棋 vs Shogi Dojo

■ 中将棋（ちゅうしょうぎ）とは 室町時代に生まれ、江戸時代までは本将棋よりも盛んに指されていた伝統の将棋です。 12×12の盤に片側46枚・21種類の駒が並び、1手で2回動ける最強の駒「獅子」が盤上を駆けまわります。 なんと「取った駒を使えない」ため、本将棋とはまったく違う、大軍がぶつかり合う雄大な戦いが楽しめます。 「ルールが難しそう」と思われがちな中将棋を、駒の動きを学びながら遊べるようにしたアプリです。 ■ 学びながら指せる ・全29種類の駒の読み方・動き・成り先を図解で解説 ・対局中に駒を長押しすると、その場で動き方を確認できる ・獅子の特別ルール（居食い・2枚取り・獅子交換の禁則）もやさしく解説 ■ 対局モード ・ふたりで対局：1台のiPhone/iPadで交互に指す ・コンピュータと対局：入門・やさしい・ふつうの3段階。初心者の練習相手にぴったり ・通信対戦：Game Centerで遠くの相手とターン制の対局。すぐに返さなくてよい「郵便将棋」スタイルなので、1局を数日かけてじっくり楽しめます ■ 本格的なルールを完全収録 ・獅子の2回動き・居食い、獅子交換の特別規則（付け喰いを含む） ・酔象の成り「太子」は2枚目の玉に ・成りの規則、千日手（同一局面4回で引き分け）まで実装 ■ 棋譜 ・対局が終わると棋譜を自動保存。途中保存もできます ・1手ずつ再生して対局を振り返り ■ こんな方におすすめ ・本将棋は知っているけれど、中将棋は指したことがない ・獅子・麒麟・鳳凰など、歴史とロマンあふれる駒に触れてみたい ・じっくり考えるボードゲームが好き 盤と駒は木の質感にこだわった和風デザイン。室町の香りとともに、幻の大局をお楽しみください。
