Games::Shogi::MakaDaiDai - Piece descriptions and initial configuration for Maka Dai Dai Shogi
use Games::Shogi::MakaDaiDai; $Game = Games::Shogi::MakaDaiDai->new; $piece = $Game->board()->[2][2]; print @{$Game->neighbor($piece); print $Game->english_name('c'); # 'Copper General'
Maka Dai Dai Shogi, at 19 squares on a side, is the second largest commonly known Shogi game. Tai Shogi is the largest commonly known game, with Taikyoku Shogi thought to be the largest ever played, nearly 4x as large as Maka Dai Dai, with 36 squares on a side.
The more bizarre pieces include the Buddhist Devil, Capricorn and the Lion appearing again. Games::Shogi explains most of the piece's moves, and there is some annotation here with the 'igui' key in a piece's hash indicating exotic powers.
