Kibamusha (2011)

Kibamusha is an ancestral chess-like boardgame, from the feudal japan. There are only 2 pages of rules : it is not a complicated game. So a 9-year-old child can play Kibamusha, and even wins against an adult.

Kibamusha uses a gameboard of 9 rows by 10 files. Each player has 20 pieces (Ashigaru, Bowman, banner, Horse archer, etc..).
There is no dice in this game.

Some questions :

I) HOW TO WIN ?
In order to win, you must be the first player to place your own Bana (banner)on the opponent's first row (row 1 or 9, depending on the opponent's side).

II) It is my turn : what do I make ?
In your turn, you have 3 options.
a) Moving only 1 piece (useful if you want a fast advance for your Bana).
b) Moving 2 pieces.
c) Moving 3 pieces (including at least 2 Ashigarus).

III)CAN I TAKE (CAPTURE) OPPONENT'S PIECES ?
Yes ! Except the opponent's Bana.
The Bana is the most important piece : the Bana cannot be captured, and the Bana cannot capture pieces.
Your goal is to threaten spaces where the bana could advance : in this way, you can prevent the opponent's bana from moving towards your own line.
