天竺将棋 Tenjiku Shogi
Tenjiku Shogi is a large Shogi variant from about 500 years ago. It plays on a 16x16 board with many many pieces.
- This game has a Fire Demon (火鬼)... enough said.
- Besides that is has a number of very interesting moving pieces and is said to play faster than most shogi variants simply because of the brutality of the pieces.
- It developed from Chu-Shogi, one of the greats, so has all of those pieces, but adds a number of new ones.
- There is a very good free book written on this game in English. I will add it to the strip below later.
