Kyoto Shogi

Game ID: GID0184056
Collection Status
Description

Kyoto Shogi is a Shogi variant played with specialized pieces on a 5x5 board. Its most unusual feature is that every move ends by "promoting" (flipping) the piece moved.

The pieces in Kyoto Shogi are non-standard pairings of standard Shogi units:

Tokin / Lance
Silver General / Bishop
King
Gold General / Knight
Pawn / Rook

Rules for dropping are the same as in the closely related game, Microshogi.
