Games with Dragons
shoogi, shōgi 将棋 Shogi generals' chess.
also known as
Japanese chess,
is a two-player board game in the same family as Western chess, chaturanga, and Chinese xiangqi, and is the most popular of a family of chess variants native to Japan.
Shōgi means general's (shō 将) boardgame (gi 棋).
The earliest predecessor of the game, chaturanga, originated in India in the 6th century, and was brought to Japan sometime in the 10th to 12th centuries, where it spawned a number of variants. Shogi in its present form was played as early as the 16th century, while a direct ancestor without the "drop rule" was recorded from 1210 in a historical document Nichūreki, which is an edited copy of Shōchūreki and Kaichūreki from the late Heian period (ca. 1120).

..... Like Chess, you try to checkmate the opponent's king. The things that makes Shogi so great though, are drops and promotions. In Shogi, instead of killing pieces, they are captured, and you can place them back on the board to work for you.
It is believed this is because in 16th century Japan, mercenary groups would be captured, and could switch loyalties to avoid execution. In addition, promotion is vaguely similar to that of chess. When a piece reaches the back third of the board, it can promote.

Tokugawa Ieyasu liked to play Shogi and it soon became a favorite pastime in Edo. Ieywasu founded a special Shogi Office with a head, iemoto 家元 to preserve the rules.
On hot summer evenings, men would sit outside the house and play Shogi, and even if they were not very skillful, neighbours came around and helped with advise and laughter.

The lines on the Shogi board were hit with a long sword.

Matsuo Basho liked to play the game too and wrote two poems about it:

mountain cherry blossoms -
half of the luggage carried
is the Shogi board . . .
(Maybe he had carried the tools for Hanami on a pole over the shoulder, and one half (katani) was the Shogi board game.

Hook moves (changing tack)
The hook mover and long-nosed goblin (tengu) can move any number of squares along a straight line, as a normal ranging piece, but may also abruptly change tack left or right by 90° at any one place along the route, and then continue as a ranging piece. Turning a corner like this is optional.
Hook move:
The tengu can move any number of free squares along one of the four diagonal directions, then (optionally) make a 90° turn and move any number of free squares in a perpendicular diagonal direction.
It may only change directions once per move.
