Simple Shogi & Rocket Shogi

Shogi is a Japanese Chess version, played on a 9x9 board. Each piece has individual movements and the King must be captured. Pieces in certain areas can be promoted. Should you capture a piece by moving to an occupied piece you can bring it back into play as part of your own forces. Simple Shogi offers two quick, simple variants of Shogi: Simple Shogi is played on a 3x5 board, you start with four pieces and the pieces can only be promoted at the outer squares. Rocket Shogi is placed on a 5x7 board, using 8 instead of 20 pieces, but using normal Shogi rules.
