Minishogi

Same rules as standard shogi, but played on a smaller 5x5 board

Minishogi is a modern variant of shogi. The rules are very similar to those of standard shogi, with few exceptions:

  • 5x5 board
  • Different board setup with reduced number of pieces
  • Promotion zone is only the farthest rank in opponent's territory.
  • Repetition doesn't result in a draw, but in a loss of the player who moved first in the game (no matter who started the repetition)
