Hajiki Shogi: Pawn Rebellion

Pull back, let go, and enjoy a little tabletop fun.

Hajiki Shogi is a traditional Japanese game with records dating back to 1830. This Edo-period pastime brings the simple pleasure of flicking wooden pieces to your screen in 3D.

Aim your piece and try to knock your opponent's pieces off the board. You don't need to know how to play shogi. A little practice with angles and power is all you need to get started.

Pull, Release, Repeat

Choose one of your pieces, drag back from the direction you want it to go, and lift your finger. Pull farther for a stronger shot.

Give a piece a gentle nudge over the edge, or find an angle that sends several pieces off together. Physics simulation brings every bump, slide, and tumble to life. When a shot lands just right, it's tempting to try one more.

Small Pawns, Clever Moves

Your pieces are nine pawns. The computer plays with a mix of larger, heavier shogi pieces, including the king.

Take turns flicking one piece at a time. Clear all your opponent's pieces to win, but watch your own pawns: they can fall off too.

Which pawn should you use? Where should you aim? How much power is enough? Simple controls leave plenty of room for a thoughtful shot.
