About Shougi
Execute traditional board game tactics by moving pieces across the grid to capture the opponent's king. This digital adaptation of Shougi requires players to utilize captured pieces as reusable assets, reintroducing them into the match to shift the momentum of the tabletop battle.
Player layout in our catalog: 2P alt.
If you are exploring by feel rather than by title, jump from the tags above into the matching genre rooms, or return to the Arcade hall for the full wall.
Open Play on this page to start Shougi. Keyboard, USB/Bluetooth pads, and the on-screen touch gamepad all work inside the emulator bar. Save states and fullscreen live on that same bar so you can pause mid-session and resume later.
