Shogi Island v3.1
Learn shogi by solving — read pieces, capture, check, mate, and real tsume (mate-in-3/5). The guide is written in Japanese and decodes line by line, and a full 9×9 match vs the island AI unlocks with mastery.
遊び方 — How to Play
この案内は全て日本語で書かれている。島で問題を一つ解くごとに、一行ずつ英語へ解読されていく。 This guide is written entirely in Japanese. Solve one problem in the game and one more line decodes into English — it stays decoded forever.
Across the water, everyone speaks Japanese and the board has nine files. The island's game is taught by playing — led by Kaede, with her brother Matsu helping and Auston, their first student, at the board beside you: the codex, the drops, the mate. Late lessons add real 詰将棋 tsume (forced mate-in-3 and mate-in-5, where the King fights back with its own hand), and a full 9×9 match vs the island AI unlocks once you've solved enough. Your decode progress and rank log to your operative dossier and the leaderboards.
Carved into the old dock, where the road to the island used to begin. No one here remembers what it opens — only that the first two were cut larger than the rest, and the last cut small.
