For people who want to discover Shogi, the traditional Japanese game of strategy, make new friends and have fun.

We are a welcoming community with weekly club nights and regular events, here at Shogi Club Tokin in the Hague.
Usually we travel with several club members to various European countries to participate in Shogi tournaments and championships. It is a great way to have fun and make friends all over Europe.

About Shogi
The game of Shogi has been played across centuries in Japan by shogun and samurai.

Even today, Shogi is played by millions of people worldwide. Shogi 将棋 translates to "Game of Generals" from Japanese.
It is an exciting and strategic board game that anyone can learn.
In this tactical game you can use the captured pieces of your opponent against them. A captured piece is allowed to "drop" almost anywhere on the playing board. This enables you to drop pieces behind enemy lines, add reinforcements or create guerrilla surprise attacks!
Pieces can also get stronger through promotion. There are even pieces that can evolve!

Come, join our club nights and have a good time! 😊✨

We will teach you to how to play shogi in a friendly environment with players of various strengths.
