Hasami shogi is a traditional Japanese game played on a shogi-ban, i.e., a 99 grid of spaces, using the fhuyo from a shogi set and gote with sente going first, but the colors associated with the names are purely conventional.
The object of the game is to be the first player to capture either five or eight of an opponents pieces, as agreed upon before starting the game. An opponents piece is taken by custodial capture, i.e., by being sandwiched horizontally or vertically between a players own pieces. A piece must be moved into such a postion immediately on either side of an opponents piece to make a capture, but multiple captures can be made simultaneously. This occurs only if a piece is moved so that it causes more than one enemy piece to be positioned between the piece moved and another of the players own pieces.
