Review: Great for value especially for beginners - It is a great beginner board. It comes with the board which is magnetic and fold-able, the Shogi pieces which are also magnetic, and a small brochure which gives the rules, piece movement, and other nuances of Shogi. The board is very well made and sturdy, the magnets aren't amazing but are strong enough to stay one, and the pieces do not feel cheap. The pieces do come in plastic brackets so use a small file to get rid of plastic nibs, but overall great board.
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).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Shogi wherever you go!
*by D***N on April 1, 2010*

I must say, finding a shogi board at a nice price in the united states is hard enough. But then try to find one that can take on the rigors of a collage back pack, one that if it does break, wont break your wallet to replace it. As a beginner to shogi, I thought it would be wonderful to have such a board, to bring around with me, and teach friends with, and in the mean time I could get better at it too! This was a fine purchase, I eagerly awaited its arrival and wasn't disappointed. Each piece is double sided, as it should be, And there is a small magnet inside of the sandwiched plastic piece. These aren't strong magnets, but strong enough to play on a bus, or in a bumpy car with no problems, (who wants to play shogi upside down anyway?) The pieces themselves come on a little plastic frame all stuck together, Similar to those plastic model kits that you put together, all you have to do is snap them off the frame, and smooth out the bump left behind by scratching it off. If you pry the pieces apart, which isn't hard to do, you could lose a magnet or something, so don't do it, and you wont have any problems. The case/board is rugged plastic with a metal playing surface, and comes in a relatively sturdy cardboard box to keep it safe from dust, scratches light rain etc. It's small enough to fit in a back pack or i suppose a large purse, But not too small like some other sets i've seen, which you almost have to play with tweezers. This set is just the right size especially for beginners who have a hard time remembering the characters on the pieces are. Some last things i'd like to say are that this set doesn't come with any way to keep the pieces separated, (mini boxes, etc.) and doesn't have piece stands, as some more experienced players may be used to. However, all in all, this is a nice Shogi set, that will give you many hours of strategic fun and will hold up under the wear and tear of daily life, as long as you treat it nicely.
