i am Pretty Bad at shogi, but i've always found it much more interesting than chess because of how you can place pieces you capture from your opponent back on the board~

it'll be nice to have something that looks and feels nice to play on to learn with!

lishogi actually has a pretty rad tutorial too!

(and piece sets that don't require you to know kanji--even though i'm definitely going to lean into that personally)

oh! this is an adorable sound theme to have as an option
