Description
Onitama is a two-player, perfect information abstract game with a random starting set-up. On a 5x5 board, both players start with five pawns on their side, with the main pawn in the middle.
Each player has two open cards that each display a possible move for any of his pieces. There is a fifth card that cannot be used by either player. On a player's turn, he chooses one of his cards, moves one of his pieces according to the chosen card, then replaces the card he used with the fifth card. The other player then chooses one of his cards, moves accordingly, and exchanges that card with this fifth card — which is, of course, the card the first player just used.
Moving onto one of the opponent's pawns removes that pawn from the game. Taking the opponent's main pawn, or moving your main pawn into your opponent's main pawn's starting space, wins you the game.

Hard to fault this game anywhere. Simple, randomised, balanced, easy to learn but very strategic. Simple for beginners to grasp but easy for seasoned gamers to have fun. Rounds last 10-15 minutes, perfect for a snack game without any lack of depth.
Theres not that many amazing replayable 2 player games out there. Its like chess made easy and approachable. With just the right amount of strategic and brain power involved, honestly a great game for all ages. No great game would be here without an amazing team. I personally have misplaced some parts and have received incredible customer service. Behind any great product is a great team. If you havent already picked up a copy, this is a MUST have in your arsenal.
This game is the chess variant I've always wanted! Every game feels entirely new and it really makes you think a few steps ahead in order to gain an advantage. The mouse-pad texture of the 'board' is wonderful and makes this an easy game to stick in your backpack and play anywhere. The pieces are perfect for customizing/painting too! So many expansions to support even more variety!
Great game! It is one of those titles that gives you chess-like vibes, but you can play it in much shorter time and teach it to anybody in 5-10 minutes. Due to fact that the selection of cards is always different, every play is unique and encourages you to explore different strategies. Classic!
So elegant! It's like the essence of chess, distilled to the simplest version while maintaining a surprising depth of strategy.
