Let’s rack your brains with traditional games!

Very popular in Japan, traditional games are all the rage at Japan Expo too, with beginners and experts alike. Strategists will meet at the shôgi booth to try the "Generals’ chess game", and to defy their opponents: and there will be plenty during the festival! Easier (at least it seems so), go has many surprises in store for you and reveals its subtleties at the go booth.

Whether you choose shôgi or go – or both! – you can learn the rules thanks to the explanations of the association members present at the festival. And tournaments are organized too, with prizes to win: are you ready to take up the challenge?
