Check out Glinski's Hexagonal Chess, our featured variant for May, 2024.

Shoko Shogi

Shoko Shogi (小鉤将棋 shōkō shōgi, "small hook shogi") is inspired by Hook Shogi, which is probably one of the wildest games I have ever conceived. Hook Shogi can be a bit intimidating, though, with 78 pieces of 36 types on a 16x16 board. Shoko Shogi is an attempt to shrink Hook Shogi to a smaller game, with only 54 pieces of 31 types on a 13x13 board, without losing much of the original flavor of the original game.
