The rules are mostly as in usual Shogi , but the game is played with only six pieces per player on a board of size 5 by 5. Each player has one king, one golden general, one silver general, one bishop, one rook, and one pawn. We can see from the direction of the point which player owns the piece, i.e., pieces point in the direction of the opponent. The opening setup is as follows. They capture in the same way as they move.
Most pieces can promote, except the king and the gold general.
The Silver General promotes to a golden general. Here you see the symbol displaying a promoted silver general. The Pawn promotes to a golden general. Here you see the symbol displaying a promoted pawn. The Rook promotes to Dragon King .
