In Kings Plate, based on the traditional Japanese chess game Shogi, the player's goal is to checkmate the opponent's king. To do this, you must use the various units in your army, with each unit having different abilities in terms of movement and special actions. Players can create their own armies from the pieces included in the game, thus forcing them (and their opponents) to rethink their strategy each game. The "Classic" edition of Kings Plate comes with a plastic game board and metal pieces.
