Slight modification to the original model to allow for asymmetric play (i.e. at a distance). W,X,Y, and Z indicate the board and move can be indicated by identifying the origin and destination grid spaces. Since there are two moves per turn, an example would look like: Passive: X A1-A3, Active: W B2-D4

Simple box to carry your 4 x game board pieces with the “Shobu” label on the sliding lid. Original box (and the one shown in the picture) was for the Hnefatafl board game I designed, but the quadrants are the same size. This one says “Shobu”. AMS required for the label on the lid.

Designer's Description

Here is my 3D printer version/adaptation of the game of SHŌBU. This board comes in 4 pieces that fit together with wedge sections to make an entire playing board. Traditionally, 4 separate boards are used (2 dark, 2 light) with a rope separating the two sides. This is an abstract game that is played 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. Remove all four of your opponent's stones from just one of the four boards to win.

Full description (part of the description above taken from there as well) and rules found at: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/272380/shobu

I have included plates for two different sets of playing pieces, but feel free to use your own. Some don't like the conical pieces in this model as they may slip too much in your fingers. If this is the case for you, re-print the other model in the opposite colour.

No AMS required - print pause/filament switch added for the board pieces so that the lines and text show through as a different colour.
