6 itemsAbout the Game
Shong is a "chess-lite", a simple take on the abstract strategy genre of games.
Here you take control of four lone pieces and attempt to "Shong" your opponent. How do you "Shong" your opponent? You trap their king or move your king to the other side of the board.
Sound simple? There's a twist. Each time you move a piece, the piece will flip between two movement patterns creating an extra layer of complexity when thinking multiple moves ahead.
Play tournament mode and be greeted with seven different AI personalities, each one complete with a unique strategy.
Challenge your friends to multiplayer online or locally.
Can you become the ultimate Shong champion?
