Once upon a time, a Collectible Card Game met Chess… And their encounter gave birth to  Shogi Monsters!

Shogi Monsters uses collectible cards as pieces to be placed on a game board. With similarities to chess, the game focuses on positioning and strategy. The challenge of the game is to outwit your opponent by turning over his cards and protecting yours from his attacks.

Exploit your opponent’s weaknesses and use the board’s configuration to your advantage to make combos and turn multiple cards at once!
