The meaning of each kanji becomes the power of your piece.
Move pieces across the board like in shogi and take the enemy King in this kanji strategy board game.
剣 (Sword) slashes the squares ahead. 弓 (Bow) shoots over your allies. 盾 (Shield) protects nearby comrades, 癒 (Heal) mends wounds, and 龍 (Dragon) soars across the board.
Every kanji moves and fights according to its meaning. Combine them and discover your own way to win.
■ Easy to learn
- Each turn, do just one thing: summon a kanji from your hand, or move one piece
- After you act, your pieces automatically attack enemies in range
- Build up Ki to summon powerful kanji
- Defeat the opponent's King to win!
A hands-on tutorial teaches you the basics by playing.
