Onitama (2014)

“The base game fantastic it's the 10 out of 10 game you should definitely give this one a look if even even if you're not even a fan of chess give it a look”(3:18)

“I'm going to give this a strong 9 out of 10, uh, as abstract games go. This is one of the games that I have wanted in my collection ever since the first time I've played it.”(9:47)

“Overall it's a very impressive game, and I know I'll be bringing it back to my game table.”

“Onitama is a beautiful, quick abstract game with enough depth to be challenging without dedicating an entire afternoon to learning the rules or game play.”

“For such a small and simple game, Onitama offers a deep and satisfying playing experience. Games range from two minutes to 20 minutes.”

“If you are a fan of games like shogi or chess but want something shorter this could fit your needs or if you are like me and like a good puzzle, Onitama makes a great filler. I am anxiously looking forward to playing it again as soon as possible.”

“An abstract game with little theme is a tough sell. However, the unique gameplay of Onitama makes this a great game, and the multiple moves gives it a lot of replayability.”

“It really is a game that moves and it works really really well. I think the design and all the pieces and everything are really nice as well, so Onitama: really really great game.”(3:29)

“This is probably my favorite two-player quick abstract game. If someone came over and says, Hey, you know, I never I never like chess, but I kind of I'd like to try one of these abstract games and be a quicker one. This would be the one I pull out.”(7:48)

“A two-player game that's super fast to learn, highly thematic (for an abstract), and a great challenge for gamers of every level! I can't put a bigger stamp of approval on this one!”

“Whether you are a dedicated strategist or a casual gamer looking for a quick battle of wits, Onitama stands as a strong recommendation. It delivers on all the aspects one would hope for in a succinct yet profoundly engaging board game experience, making it worthy of space on any gamer's shelf.”

“Additionally there are 16 different move cards in this box so each game is going to feel a little bit different than the game before. Onitama is a really great game for the chess-lovers in your life!”
