   And excellent product, with the movement print on the pieces themselves, slowly you’ll get used to the kanji.

   The pieces are smooth with a pleasant wooden smell, and the sound when placing them on the board is so satisfying.

   Spouse very happy, says it’s not highest quality wood but good value for price, loves the convenience and foldability.

   The product was all in japanese but for any traditional chess player, it was easy to learn. The pieces all show you how to move. When you enter their “base” which is marked by passing the dot, you can promote and flip your piece. Another rule we liked was that you can place a captured piece on the board rather than moving. It really brings a whole new dynamic to the game and makes for some cheeky setups. My little brother easily learned this game and loves playing because he saw it being played in naruto. Now he thinks he is shikamaru whenever he wins

   Very nice beginner set. I’ve always wanted to play chess but always had trouble remembering what each piece did; this took away that problem for me. Each piece has exactly what you can do with it drawn on its face and takes the gameplay of chess to a whole new level as you reuse taken pieces for your own. The only drawback is that all of the instructions are in Japanese. But with the internet as a great resource, I didn’t find that I minded at all. Fabulous set for the price, I wish other board games had similar training sets like this one.
