Marudori Shogi

Marudori Shogi is a unique irregular shogi application designed specifically for beginners who find traditional shogi challenging. Unlike classic shogi, this app converts captured opponent pieces into points, which players can then use to place their own pieces on the board. Players enjoy the flexibility to freely arrange pieces at the game’s start and select pieces that suit their skill level since all unused pieces become available.

The app visually displays piece movement options and handedness, making it easy for newcomers to learn and play without prior knowledge of shogi moves. Additionally, Marudori Shogi includes practice modes like the "Tamago Rule" and "Ootori Rule," helping players build skills transferable to standard shogi games. This engaging and accessible shogi variant is ideal for those seeking a friendly introduction to the game.
