Description

Onitama is an abstract game for two players with a random initial setup.

On a 5 by 5 board, both players start with five pawns on their side with their main pawn in the center. Each player has two open cards, each of which has a possible move for one of their pawns. There is also a fifth card that cannot be used by either player.

On their turn, the player chooses one of their two cards, moves one of their pawns according to the card, and replaces the card they used with the fifth card. Then the next player chooses one of their own cards, moves accordingly, and replaces their card with the fifth card, which is naturally the card just used by the first player.

If you move one of your pawns onto an opponent's pawn, you remove it from the game. If you take the opponent's main pawn or move your own main pawn to the spot where the opponent's main pawn started, you win the game.

    It is simple, fun, easy to set up, and won't tire you out. It requires strategy and patience, and sometimes surrender! I definitely recommend it.

    An alternative chess game with simpler rules, where your team (the martial arts school you have) must defeat the opponent's master or sit on the throne. Very high-quality pieces and the board is like a mousepad, and the pawns are very beautiful, as well as the box with the insert where the components go, very nice. It is easy but requires thinking because the opponent will have the cards you used in the next round, it has depth and great replayability. It's a bit pricey, but if you find it on sale, "go for it" straight away, it's worth the money.

    Perfect strategy game in which in order to win, you have to "capture" the opponent's "master" pawn or sit on their throne. The moves on the pawns are made each time with 5 out of the 16 cards that the game has, which are randomly selected at the beginning of each match and which, after being played by each player, will be available to the opponent. In this way, the cards circulate and the players try to exploit them to trap the opponent and predict their moves. The game has great replayability because in each match, the 5 cards-moves out of the 16 are in a different combination with each other.
