Game description
Whoever can beat the opponent's Shogun wins the game. The game pieces are designed so that they automatically show a different number with each move. 8 red and 8 white playing stones face each other, each with a number in a recessed window. This number indicates how many squares the stone can be moved. A great game for two people.
The name of this set is of Japanese origin. From the Middle Ages to the 19th century, the shogun (pronunciation: shogun), the emperor's general, a ruling figure in the Japanese system of government, was more powerful than the emperor.

Ravensburger is a manufacturer of board games and puzzles with its headquarters in Ravensburg, Baden-Württemberg, Germany.
It was the German Otto Robert Maier who founded Ravensburger in 1883. Otto Robert Maier named his newly established company after the place where he was staying at that time: the city of Ravensburg.
The greatest success of Ravensburger is the Memory game. This game, which was released in 1959, was immediately the best-selling game of the year. Characteristic of the Memory game is that it is won more often by children. This is because their short-term memory is better than that of adults. More than 50 million copies have been sold since 1959. Ravensburger is a leader in the field of puzzles and board games. Ravensburger has published more than 18,000 books and 850 games today.
