Philos Shogi set

Shogi is the Japanese version of chess. The objective of the game is to capture the opponent's king. The two players differentiate their pieces not by color, but by the direction of the pointed side, which indicates to whom the pieces belong. Shogi has appealing differences and additional rules compared to chess that make the game interesting. One important difference is the capturing and reintroducing of pieces. This means that the number of pieces does not decrease throughout the game, allowing the tide to turn for players at any moment. The second fundamental difference from classical chess is the promotion of pieces, which grants them more movement options. The pieces become stronger, making the game more attractive. This game is suitable not only for skilled chess players seeking new challenges but also for beginners.
