## Description

desertcart.com: YMI Wooden Shogi Japanese Chess Set with Paper Board | 42 solid maple Shogi pieces with a basic paper board and English manual. : Toys & Games

Review: Good quality and size for gameplay - I had previously bought a shogi board that was magnetic for easy play. But I was slight disappointed that the pieces were not traditionally wooden and the board was smaller than expected. Since the game set was met for travelling use, it makes sense, but I prefer the regular size. This shogi set made up for it. The pieces were made of wood and the perfect size for me so I can read the characters better, and I can play the boardgame mat on top of my Go boardgame. Makes everything better.
Review: A nice starter set - I've been wanting a shogi set for a while so when I saw these, I snapped them up. I don't know enough about the traditional sets to know if they're regulation or not but they're light and they feel nice. It comes in a really sturdy box for storage and a zip top bag for the pieces. The included pamphlet has some general information like the rules for how each piece moves and general game play. The paper gameboard to get started is even a nice touch. I'm pretty happy with it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A nice starter set

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very decent set of wooden pieces for the price
*by P***A on January 7, 2018*

I just started getting into the game of Shogi and with the lack of quality online interfaces for studying/playing, I opted to get my own set. Even though I'm new to the game, I really wanted to avoid the cheap, low quality magnetic and plastic sets while also not breaking the bank. I bought this wooden folding board (see my review for that board as well) which didn't come with pieces thus necessitating the need for a piece set. Shogi pieces (known as "Koma" in Japan) like Shogi boards are hard to find outside of Japan due to the level of craftsmanship required to make them combined with the relative obscurity of Shogi in the western world. Most good, wooden piece sets are available only through importing from Japan which can be costly and time-consuming (delivery times are usually weeks if you don't want to pay 2-3 times the set price in shipping costs). Due to these factors, my initial plan was to get this cheap, $12 set of wooden pieces while I wait for a nicer set to be imported from Japan. Upon getting this delivered, however, I canceled my other order because these pieces are actually a decent quality for the price. Given that I'm relatively new to studying this game, it wouldn't make sense to really go all-in on a nicer set anyways. The wooden pieces are a good weight with a solid, authentic feel to them. The calligraphy is decent, however, I'm not a huge fan of how the characters extend all the way to sides of the piece. Generally, the characters are supposed to be fully contained within the piece and have some padding from the edges. The King piece featured in the product picture is a good example of what I'm referring too. The pieces utilize the 2-character format for their names. These Chinese characters (not Japanse) are heavily stylized and written in cursive. This gives the set a very authentic feel but can be hard to decipher for newer players. Even so, most casual players tend to prefer the simpler 1-character variations that use only the top half character and aren't as stylized. So if you're buying this as a beginner or for someone else who is a beginner, do be aware of this prior to making this purchase as it may take some getting used too. TL;DR Pros: - Cheapest wooden pieces that are widely available - Solid wood feel - Decent caligraphy for the price Cons: - Some characters are too big for the piece and extend to the sides - Slight ink bleed on some characters which makes them look sort of "fuzzy" - Uses a complicated character set which isn't beginner/westerner friendly
