Game Description:
Shogun is a two-player strategic board game where the goal is to defeat your opponent’s Shogun. Each move is determined by the number automatically displayed on the game pieces, adding a dynamic experience to each round. The game includes 8 red and 8 white pieces, each showing a number indicating how many spaces the piece can move. This unique mechanic of automatic numbers makes every move a strategic challenge.

The name ‘Shogun’ comes from the Japanese term for a powerful warlord who controlled the emperor's policy, often more influential than the emperor himself. This historical aspect adds an extra layer of theme and depth to the game.
