Couldn't load pickup availability

Hasami Shogi, often called “Scissor Chess,” is a clever, fast-moving Japanese strategy game where captures happen by pinching an opponent’s piece between two of your own—snip, snip.
Command an army of 18 samurai warriors, outmaneuver your opponent, and race to be the first to form five in a row. The rules are approachable enough for young players to pick up quickly, but there’s plenty of strategy hiding inside each move—making it particularly good for a quick “one more round.”
Part of the LUDOS Collection
This edition appears in Volume 1: LUDOS Asia, part of a collection created to preserve games of the past for generations of the future.
We especially like that idea: a traditional game doesn't have to sit behind glass to be preserved. Sometimes the best way to keep a game alive is simply to keep playing it.
