Welcome to iShogi Salon!
iShogi Salon is the revolutionary 3D Japanese chess iPhone/iPod Touch app on the DreamOnline’s original product series.
Shogi is one of the variants of Chess native to Japan. Many strong Chess players have found Shogi to be a great game to play because of its distinctive “drop” rule, which is captured pieces could be returned to the board to be used as one’s own.You already know it’s fun to play a game on your device but you can multiply the fun when you play with your friends over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.
