    DOBUTSU SHOGI IN THE GREENWOOD
    FULL SIZE LATEST EDITION
    with
    FOLDING BOARD
    FULL SIZE 16 x 16 INCH BOARD with 3 cm PIECES
    SHOGI, THE CHESS OF JAPAN, WITH ANIMAL PIECES
    CHARMING AND EASY TO LEARN
    This is the traditional chess of Japan, shogi, made friendly and easy to learn with instructive animal pieces.
    DOBUTSU SHOGI IN THE GREENWOOD
    This is nothing less than the great traditional chess form of Japan, a full set of 40 pieces on a 9 x 9 playing surface. But where the standard sets show ancient Chinese (Japanese
    kanji
    ) symbols, this set features delightfully cute little animals with small symbols to remind the player of how each piece moves.
    GREAT FOR LEARNING AND GREAT FOR PLAYING
    Players new to the game of shogi will find this an especially easy way to start playing the game, but experienced shogi players will also delight in the novel style of pieces.
    This game ties in with the simplified game "Let's Catch the Lion." Players familiar with that game will find this a simple and logical step to learning "real shogi" with disarming, easy to understand characters.
    NEW EDITION, FULL SIZE
    This game was formerly published in a smaller size, but now is back to the full size with 3 cm pieces and a 16 inch board
    (see pictures for comparison)
    .
    This set is made with quality from start to finish. It comes in a sturdy box with a removable lid. The playing surface is a colorfully printed folding board, approx. 16 x 16 inches. The pieces are wooden blocks, 1 3/16 inch on each side and 3/8 inch thick (3 x 3 x 1 cm), with a printed surface showing each character. Most pieces also have a printed surface on the bottom, showing each piece's promotional value and its new move.
    ENGLISH RULES
    This game is clearly explained in English, in a pamphlet which we provide. (A Japanese booklet also comes included in the box.)
