Beautifully Challenging 

SHŌBU is a beautifully crafted abstract strategy game for two players.

Contains:

  • 4 square wooden boards (2 light and 2 dark)
  • 32 natural river stones (16 per player in two colors)
  • A cotton rope dividing the play area in half

How to Play:

  • Move one of your stones up to two spaces in any direction, including diagonally.
  • Match that move with another of your stones on the opposite color board – and push an opponent’s stone off the board's edge.
  • Remove all four of your opponent's stones from any ONE board to win.

SHŌBU is made of natural elements, wood boards, a cotton rope divider and tumbled river stones as playing pieces, giving it incredible table appeal. It is instantly familiar, yet wholly unique unto its own.
