Clubhouse Games: 51 Worldwide Classics (Switch) - Game #18: Mini Shogi

Game #18 on our list of 51 Worldwide Classics is a smaller version of the game from the previous episode, Mini Shogi! While regular shogi is played on a 9x9 board with 20 pieces per side, mini shogi shrinks the battlefield down to 5x5 and reduces each player's army size to 6 (one pawn, one bishop, one rook, one silver general, one gold general, and of course the king). However, the smaller scale does not mean the game will be any easier, and the mechanics and objective remain the same: checkmate the enemy king by placing him under attack and cutting off all possible escape, using captured enemy pieces as allies and promoting them once they breach enemy territory to your advantage.

There are four difficulty levels of CPU opponents to face: Normal, Hard, Amazing, and Impossible, which all must be faced in order. Beat the Impossible CPU to master the game. Also, you can decide which player goes first, and each time you play it, you can unlock a piece of trivia about the game. There are three pieces of trivia about Mini Shogi:

1. The squares on a real-life board are marked by Roman numerals on the top and Chinese characters on the side.
2. The opposite of mini shogi is max shogi! It's a massive-scale game where 402(!) pieces on each side take each other on. It's like a real war! (Personal addendum: how big of a board would you need to support that many pieces?!)
3. Apparently, real shogi pros can carry out a whole match inside their heads. No board required! (Personal addendum: People say I have a good memory, but I couldn't do that!)

Personal story: I have no personal recollection of Mini Shogi. This is my first time ever playing it.
