- Yellow Mountain Imports Shogi Japanese Chess Game Set - Wooden Board with Drawers and Traditional Koma Playing Pieces

I learned Shogi while in high school and haven't played in 50 years. What a surprise to learn my 17 year old grandson apparently learned on the internet! We still haven't completed a game since when we start at family gatherings we get interrupted-- but if you like chess and don't know this game I recommend you learn. It's the kind of game you could play every day. Not some weird variation of chess but a great game in its own right. This set is solid and you'll never need to buy another one.

The board is excellent quality and looks really nice, enough so that I can leave it on the coffee table as a centerpiece. The pieces are light and moveable. The kanji on one of them isn't perfect so it's kind of hard to read but that's mostly because I can't read kanji! Packaging was great! It was double boxed with bubble wrap inside the first box and styrofoam protecting the table inside the second. (It actually got dropped and there's no damage at all) Definitely worth purchasing for anybody looking to get into Shogi.

Purchased for one of my sons that loves and collects board games. Very well made. Quick delivery. Thank you very much.

This game board is beautifully built! We love the wood board and playing pieces

Nice wood pieces but seriously does not fit the board size since some pieces are bigger than the board's square as mentioned in an earlier review. Yet overall, I still like the quality of the wood and the board albeit the manufacturer ought to update the design to better suit the pieces since that review.

I think many people would have given this set 4 stars or less due to some of the complaints with the piece sizes, but honestly the fact that the King is a bit too big really isn't that much of issue. Also, my interaction with the seller was amazing. Their response time was great and just a pleasure. All in all, if you don't want to spend hundreds or even thousands for a "real" Japanese Shogi set, this set is beautiful and is excellent value for the money. Oh, and the little booklet is great! As I'm still learning, it's perfect to have there to see how the pieces move.

This was much nicer than I expected it to be. My son loved it and can’t wait to learn how to play.

Gave this to a wonderful weeb in my life, and they loved this board for making them feel like they're in an anime. Good, quality board and pieces with a storage drawer. Need a board to produce that satisfying "clack" when triumphantly promoting your pawn to gold? Look no further.
