Onitama – A Martial Duel of Wits and Precision 🌸♟️

Step onto the dojo floor and engage in a captivating game of martial tactics with Onitama. Elegant, fast-paced, and deeply strategic, this abstract classic condenses chess-like depth into a perfect 5×5 board battle.

Tailored for 2 players aged 8 and up, each match begins with two movement cards to each player and one neutral card beside the board. Move your Master or Students using these cards—then exchange the used card with the neutral one. Master the dance of movement, capture your opponent’s Master, or reach their Temple Arch to claim victory.

♟️ Simple Mechanics, Deep Strategy

Each turn, choose a movement card and move a pawn—you’ll then pass that card to your opponent’s pool, creating dynamic, shared tactics and momentum.

⚖️ Two Win Paths

You win by capturing your opponent’s Master ("Way of the Stone") or by moving your Master into their Temple Arch ("Way of the Stream")—forcing diverse strategies.

🌀 Ever‑Changing Tactics

Games use only five of the sixteen movement cards—so each round brings fresh combinations and surprise possibilities.

🧘♂️ Elegant Presentation

Includes a roll-up dojo mat, detailed Master & Student pawns, and oversized movement cards—combining aesthetics with compact design.
