Check out Symmetric Chess, our featured variant for March, 2024.

Long-King Shogi

Setup

As Shogi, and you also have to put a Long-King in front of your King.

Pieces

The Long-King moves like a Chess Queen but cannot capture anything except for the opponent's Long-King or any orthogonaly adjacent opponent's piece. If your Long-King is captured, you lose the game unless you can take a turn to capture your opponent's King, in which case you win.

Rules

(Same as Shogi except as described above.)
