In addition to the classic shogi experience, the "Hasami Shogi (Japanese Chess Scissors)" app offers an engaging platform to play "Prisoner's Base Shogi" and "Surround Shogi." These variations provide unique gameplay and strategic challenges, making the app a comprehensive hub for shogi enthusiasts.

Hasami Shogi Rules

In Hasami Shogi, players are divided into infantry and gold pieces. The objective is to capture the opponent's pieces by sandwiching them between your own. Victory is achieved by capturing three of the opponent's pieces. However, due to the nature of Hasami Shogi, games can sometimes end in a stalemate, although efforts have been made to enhance the likelihood of a decisive outcome.

Prisoner's Base Shogi Rules

In this variant, players also use infantry and gold pieces. The goal is to move all your infantry into a 3x3 territory on the opponent's side of the board. You can jump over the opponent's pieces to achieve this, adding a dynamic layer to the game.

Enclose Shogi Rules

Similar to Hasami Shogi, players aim to capture the opponent's pieces by sandwiching them. Additionally, players can claim territory by surrounding squares with their pieces, forming a frame. Victory is achieved by either capturing six pieces or securing three territories.

Each game mode features a CPU opponent with three difficulty levels, catering to players of all skill levels. Additionally, the app supports PvP play, allowing you to challenge friends or other players online.
