## Overview

Arcane Wonders Onitama is a fast, elegant 2-player abstract strategy game where players control a Master and monks on a 5x5 board. With a unique card-based move system and quick 15-20 minute rounds, it challenges players aged 8+ to outwit opponents by capturing pawns or reaching the enemy temple. Winner of the 2016 UK Games Expo Best Abstract Game, Onitama combines martial arts themes with deep tactical gameplay in a compact, ready-to-play format.

## Description

Each player has two open cards that each display a possible move for any of his pieces. There is a fifth card that cannot be used by either player. On a player's turn, he chooses one of his cards, moves one of his pieces according to the chosen card, then replaces the card he used with the fifth card. The other player then chooses one of his cards, moves accordingly, and exchanges that card with this fifth card — which is, of course, the card the first player just used. Moving onto one of the opponent's pawns removes that pawn from the game. Taking the opponent's main pawn, or moving your main pawn into your opponent's main pawn's starting space, wins you the game.

Review: Great quality! - The play pieces and play mat feel very sturdy and luxurious. The game itself is a lot like chess -- but simple enough that others can enjoy it too! Quite enjoyable for those who like abstract strategy games.
Review: A great modern abstract strategy game. - A game played on a simpler grid than chess with chess like game play but with it's own unique card moves based mechanic. I grabbed a copy after hearing raving reviews about the game among modern abstract strategy game aficionados and they proved right. Highquality content.. Beautiful packaging... Note on expansions: Though expensive for the content vs price I plan to collect the three expansions as well.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Trying to Gauge if the board would fit on a small table. Can someone tell me please the footprint of the scroll board? Thanks.**
A: quite small, the size of a mousepad and a half.  I would say a legal sheet of paper roughly 8 1/2 by 14

**Q: Did anyone else's game come missing the cards?**
A: Mine was missing one blue student pawn

**Q: what age can play?**
A: My 5 and 9 year olds both enjoy this. The younger one sometimes needs help but can generally play on his own.

**Q: can children play?**
A: Yes, our ten year old likes to play, but the box says 14 and up.  It depends on the child.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by A***E on 13 March 2025*

Onitama is an incredible board game that offers a fresh, exciting twist on traditional chess! I absolutely love the unique gameplay—it’s easy to learn but offers strategic depth that keeps every game engaging. The concept of the “master” acting like a king and the “students” functioning like pawns is such a clever idea. It adds an interesting layer of strategy and keeps the game dynamic. The game is fast-paced, making it perfect for quick sessions, yet each move requires careful thought. The design is sleek and the components are high-quality. It’s quickly become one of my favorite games to play with friends and family. Highly recommend it for anyone who enjoys strategic games with a fun twist!
