A beautifully crafted 2-player abstract strategy game from Smirk & Dagger. Remove all four of your opponent's stones from just one of four boards to win.
Your turn is in two parts. First, a player may move one of their stones up to two spaces in any direction, including diagonally, in what is called a passive (or set up) move. Second, they take a more aggressive move, which must be the same direction and number of spaces as the first move. It is this second move that allows you to push stones across the board - or off the board's edge.
Warnings: The event was originally listed with rules of "Shobu (1st)." It has been changed to "Shobu (1st Edition)."
