Yellow Mountain Imports Shogi Travel Game Set with Magnetic 9.6-Inch Board and 40 Playing Pieces for 2 Players, Ages 8+

A mí hijo le gustó, está imantado y se guardan las fichas dentro al doblarse y cerrarse para q no se pierdan

I’ve only recently discovered the game of Shogi, and I wanted to get an affordable and transportable set for myself. This one definitely fits the bill. At $15, it was very affordable. It’s not particularly fancy, but I wasn’t expecting that. It’s a very simple, bare-bones set with magnetic tiles meant to serve as a travel set. The pieces are small but clearly marked, which is important for beginners like myself who are still trying to learn the characters. The instruction pamphlet that explains how the pieces move has images that are a bit less than clear, but it didn’t take too much effort to figure out which was what. Once I am more practiced, the guide will be less necessary anyway, so I’m not too worried about that. The English translation is clear on how the pieces play and promote. The pieces came on sprues which had to be detached. It leaves a little leftover plastic end, but with some elbow grease and a file, you can get rid of those sprue ends easily. My experience constructing wargame miniatures came in handy there. The plastic isn’t particularly high quality, but I got what I paid for and I don’t have any complaints there. The magnets aren’t terribly strong. I’ve seen other reviews discuss whether the board can be turned upside down or not. I tried it, and the pieces did remain on the board. Really though, I don’t anticipate a lot of gameplay upside down. I also tilted it sideways and the larger pieces slid down, but again, I don’t anticipate playing sideways either. I haven’t tested if they’d survive a serious bump yet, but for standard use, they are adequate. I have some concerns about how long the latch to hold the board closed for storage will last. It seems a bit lower quality than I’d prefer. But again, it is a fifteen-dollar Shogi set. I won’t complain too much, and I won’t cut the star rating for that alone. All in all, it’s a decent set for a very good price.
