I found the price of "Let's Catch the Lion(Dobutsu Shogi)" in Essen Spiel in the following page.
According to the page above, the boot of "Let's Catch the Lion" will be at 4-227. The special price for the exihibition will be at Euro12 pre unit.
In addition, looking at the lowest photo of the linked page, some shogi sets seems to be sold there at Euro50.
Hi Takodori,
when I visited Spiel 09 today, I was surprised that there actually was a dedicated shogi booth there! One that sold the newest games by Japon brand, the other one were you could play Shogi and Catch the Lion, which would be explained by the creator herself.
When being asked about where I had heard about Catch the lion first, I mentioned your Shogi blog, which led to quite some enthusiasm among the people at the booth, who were so kind to invite me to a game. If anyone is interested in learning the game, the show is still open tomorrow.

Thanks for your comment. It's good to know my blog entry was useful to you and the people at the booth. I read your comment a little late and the show was closed. But anyway, thanks again.
