4x5 Shogi variant from 1982.
Unconventional pieces: King, Bishop/Tokin, Gold/Rook, Silver/Lance, Pawn/Knight. A piece promote/demote every time it is capturing. Drops are unrestricted: Either side up, drop of e.g. pawn to end row or for checkmate, etc.
Refreshingly different. Reminds of [thing=37087] [/thing].
TSA/George Hodges version.
I don't actually own a professionally published version of this, but printed out a paper set and rules from the internet. Some day I'll get a manufactured one or carve a wooden one.
