Onitama

The best way to describe this game is kung-fu chess. It is fun, unique and has a lot of relatability and strategy.

A strategy game to make you think

This is a two-player strategy game which is a bit like chess with a twist. Each player has less pieces and the moves are determined by shared cards so you can see which moves the other player could make. It's each to set up, quick to learn but lots of replay potential and it really makes you think.

The playing board is also really good quality.

Great chess substitute

This game is a fantastic take on classic chess with less pieces and a slightly different end goal. Great for people who love chess but aren’t looking for something nearly as heavy!

Type: Abstract Games

Category: Abstract, Two-Player Only Games

GAME OVERVIEW

Onitama is a two-player, perfect information abstract game with a random starting set-up. On a 5x5 board, both players start with five pawns on their side, with the main pawn in the middle.

Each player has two open cards that each display a possible move for any of his pieces. There is a fifth card that cannot be used by either player. On a player's turn, he chooses one of his cards, moves one of his pieces according to the chosen card, then replaces the card he used with the fifth card. The other player then chooses one of his cards, moves accordingly, and exchanges that card with this fifth card — which is, of course, the card the first player just used.

Moving onto one of the opponent's pawns removes that pawn from the game. Taking the opponent's main pawn, or moving your main pawn into your opponent's main pawn's starting space, wins you the game.
