Review: Nice Magnetic Shogi Set - I came to know Shogi because of Anime, but after reading in Wikipedia and other websites, It really seems an entertainment game, quite like chess but more challenging. This Shogi set it quite nice, pieces would fall if you turn it down, but I don't think you would do that anyway. My only complaint is that the Kanjis seams a little bit different from what you would see in almost every single website, but this is not a big issue since you can distinguish a little bit, (it seems this is a two characters with cursive style kanjis version) a side from that I recommend this Shogi set as a starting set it's nice, well made and cheap what else do you what? (well perhaps a little rules explanation would have been a good idea, but you do have Internet right?) If you would like to learn more from Shogi I recommend Wikipedia and Hidetchi youTube Shogi Channel (where you will find an excellent English video lessons).
Review: Very nice travel set and reasonably priced - I bought this for my son, who learned Shogi in Japanese language class. He was quite excited to get it and play with it. It is a little larger than the usual magnetic travel chess set, but that made it easier to play. Good for tabletop or travel play. Pieces are clearly labeled. The pieces are lightly magnetized, not so strongly that they're hard to pick up, but if you shake the board, they'll fall off. They won't fall off if you tilt or bump the board. Looks and feels pretty nicely made. When closed, there is a latch to keep the halves folded and closed, but I would put the pieces into a small ziploc or felt bag to keep them from getting lost. Bag not included.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice, convenient, good value board, plastic pieces are plastic
*by S***H on January 15, 2022*

Good board considering your other options are in the ballpark of 70ish bucks. If you are just getting into shogi it is bad that the calligraphy doesn’t match the cheat sheet/directions that they provide but it’s not that big of a deal. The plastic pieces are barely magnetic, making it easier to play on the go, but they are magnetic enough such that rolling the pawns just doesn’t work well. I suggest buying wooden pieces separately, as most shogi pieces on the market work very well for this board. Just mind the dimensions. Other than that you are essentially getting a very good quality board for both playing on and off travel. Obviously you can’t clack as well on this board as you can a wooden board, (very important) but with wooden pieces you can do it effectively and that’s all that matters.
