SHINTO CHESS GAME

An elegant 2 player game of thinking and planning strategy with a Japanese Emperor/Samurai theme. A Chess-like game played on a 5x5 board and includes 46 move cards, a nice storage box with a sliding lid and detailed instructions. All parts are very easy to print and do not require any assembly or supports. You can print in single color while still maintaining game functionality or you can print in multi-color like in the pictures; I've included pre colored 3mf files for all the parts as well. Graceful and beautiful on every level and a fun playing experience.

Complete package with 3D printing instructions & detailed game playing rules.

As always, feel free to make things more interesting by printing different pieces in different colors or if you’re feeling even more adventurous try experimenting with different sizing and scaling :)

Tips & Settings:

No special print settings or supports required. All files are easy to print.

There are colored 3mf files included for the main board and playing pieces. If you want to print with multi colors as the models seen in my pictures, choose the 3mf files. If you just want everything printed in single colors, choose the “Plain” files. You do not need to print both Plain and 3mf versions.

The color 3mf files were colored in BambuStudio and tested on BambuLabs printers.

Each player needs a set consisting of 1x “Emperor” and 4x “Samurai” Each set should be in a different color to differentiate between the players. And only 1x “Spirit” piece is needed which is shared by both players.

The cards need to be printed on a paper printer in color and cut out. You can print them on thicker cardstock paper for a more sturdy feel.

GAME PLAY:

There are 2 ways to play; the Standard way or the more advanced “Spirit” way.

I recommend starting with the standard and then moving on to the Spirit.

Please follow the instructions in the included Instructions PDF file.
