Excellent value for money especially for beginners

This is a great board for beginners. It includes a board that is both magnetic and foldable, shogi stones that are also magnetic, and a small booklet that describes the rules, movement of pieces, and other nuances of shogi. The board is very well made and sturdy, the magnets aren't amazing but are strong enough to stay put and the parts don't feel cheap. The parts come in plastic mounts so use a small file to get rid of the plastic tips but overall a great board.

Pros
  • Whole set weighs 0.38kg
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled

Worth every penny - games and accessories

Sufficiently durable field . Definitely worth the price for an amenity set, the pieces don't look too magnetic at first glance and are hardly attracted by a magnet, but remain firmly on the board when you close it together with the pieces on it. The figures vary in size depending on their meaning. If I had to be annoyed about something it would be the bright black bar in the middle where it's hinged since Shogi is played on a 9x9 board so going straight through the 5th cell is a bit annoying…

Pros
  • Complete set with 40 figures: 18 pawns, 2 rooks, 2 bishops, 4 spears, 4 knights, 4 silver generals, 4 gold generals and 2 kings
Cons
  • Many things

Temper Expectations

I picked up this board about six months ago. I carry it in my backpack and play with classmates at my college about four days a week. This is a great travel size but the product is a lot smaller than the photos suggest. The parts are small and some have fallen apart. The pieces come in two halves with a free-moving magnet in the middle. For a budget product this is great, but after playing with it for a few months the size wore me down. I would say this product is perfect for those who want to…

Pros
  • Portable yet handy Size: Dimensions: 1.9 x 0.4 x 2.1 cm (0.75 x 0.16 x 0.83 inch); Silver and Gold General: 0.71 x 0.16 x 0.79 inches (1.8 x 0.4 x 2 centimeters); Pawns: 0.59 x 0.16 x 0.67 inches (1.5 x 0.4 x 1.7 centimeters)
Cons
  • change

Shogi where you go!

I must say that it is quite difficult to find a reasonably priced shogi board in the USA Find. But then try to find one that can take the rigors of a collage backpack that, if it breaks, won't bust your wallet to replace it. As a newbie to shogi, I thought it would be great to have a board like this, take it with me and teach it to my friends, and in the meantime, I might as well improve it! It was a great purchase, I was excited for its arrival and was not disappointed. Each part is double…

Pros
  • Fun and practical set Shogi: The perfect travel set for board strategy players; This set includes a magnetic board and game pieces; Board dimensions 24.8 x 24.8 x 2.3 cm (9.75 x 9.75 x 0.9 in)
Cons
  • Some problems
