The objective of the game is to take the opposing king. When the king cannot avoid being caught on the next move, the game is over. They say the king is "Matt". The shogi opposes two players who take turns playing. The Shogi chess board is called Shogi Ban ("Shogi table") and has 81 squares (9 x 9), the three rows furthest from the players constituting their promotion area. At the start of the game each player has 20 pieces: a king, a rook, a bishop, two gold generals, two silver generals, two horsemen, two spears, and nine pawns.Checkers

From 2 to 8 players can play the game, and they can all be computer players if you wish. This allows you to just sit back and watch as the computer takes over. You can choose to play a short game with a specified time limit, or a standard game, and there is a save game feature. All actions are handled entirely by keyboard. Questions appear in the center area of the board (for buying property, for instance). Pressing the first letter of a word from the top bar takes that action (Q for Quit as an example).

Community Chest

Community Chest is based on the game Monopoly and is a smaller version of the game. You play the computer and try to make money without going bankrupt. The game has 16 squares with 13 squares named after London streets, Community Chance, Jail and a Go square. The street squares are split into six sets. Each player takes it in turns to throw a dice to move their counter and if a street square is landed on then the player has a choice to buy it if the player has enough money. If the player has brought a street to make up a set then houses can be brought and placed on the square. As the players move buying streets and a player lands on a street square owned by the other player then that player has to pay rent and the cost depends on how expensive the street is and if there are any houses on it. Landing on a Community Chance square reveals an incident and this can either lose or gain the player money. The Jail square forces the player to pay a fee and if a player passes the Go square then they receive £2000. A playerYakzee!
