Reminiscent of the ancient game of GO, SHŌBU is a beautiful game, simple in rules, yet deep in strategy and tactics. Players are looking to push their opponent's pieces off the board and win when they are all off. Each turn consists of two parts - a passive move and an aggressive move. The tricky part is that these two moves must be the same, albeit on different boards. An excellent 2 player game, SHŌBU is elegant and deep.

How to play SHŌBU?
In SHŌBU players take turns making 2 moves. A passive move and an aggressive move, a move can be in any direction (including diagonals) and can be 1 or 2 spaces. First you make your passive move on one of your two home boards. Then you make your aggressive move on either board of the opposite colour, the aggressive move can be used to push your opponents pieces, if you push their pieces off the board they are removed.
