How about a game of Japanese Chess, i.e. Shogi? Now playing Shogi4
Time

If this is it, it looks like I could probably play with physical pieces. I know you don't have a physical board, but maybe you could mock something up quickly, since it's small? That site you were using before could probably work to. You'd just have to remove all the pieces and choose a section of the board to place the pieces on, using a bishop for the elephant, a king for the lion, etc.

 1. I didn't end up making more than six wishes anyway (just in case extra wishes didn't count ;)).

2. I meant it, but I was careful to add the bit in parentheses because I know there are people who don't want to go to heaven (that's kind of what hell is for, but we won't get into that in this thread).

 Either I've got your Lion on the wrong spot or you have one of my pawns on the wrong spot. May I also point out that if you leave your lion on that 7f it's going bye-bye next turn. Unless I misunderstood the notation.

EDIT: And I don't mean I'll take him with my Lion; your above post was noted.

I'm liking it so far. I don't mind the lion so much anymore since it isn't obliterating my army. I like the variety of pieces, and though it's hard to plan ahead with so many of them. The variety of pieces do allow for elaborate defenses though, but it takes a while to get them out into the action because of all the pieces surrounding each other. I don't miss the drops, because I think it would just be too hectic with them. A person could have ten pieces ready to drop and then plop them all onto the board one after the other, so I think it would just be too confusing and frustrating to play like that.

4. I'd wish for world peace.

6. I'd wish for something else.

7. I'd wish for another thing.

8. I'd wish for...um...not sure.

The pieces represent different powers and systems of government. The president represents corporate power, the admiral represents the military, the duke represents monarchy, the temple represents religion, and the senator represents government.

For what it's worth, you've spelled it wrong.

Whoops, it's fixed.

It looks interesting.  I'd love to play some time.  Just have to figure out how to get ahold of it :)

 Well good luck with that, all five hundred copies were sold in Calgary, Alberta. Maybe someone could create a Zillions file for the game...?

Okay, I think the game progressed somewhat the same for a couple moves.  I have placed the correct Dragon King on 7i.  I imagine the next couple moves would have unfolded the same way, with my Dragon King on 7d, your pawn on 1g.  After that is where I would make a different move.  My reason for attacking that flank was to go for what I thought was a weaker area, but I was nervous to leave your lion unattended by my own, as I don't really understand his potential just yet, and didn't want you to decimate my forces in that flank.  Now that I know that side is guarded by that Dragon King, I'm really not inclined to go that way anymore.  If you're okay picking up here, then my move would be P-5e.  If not, let me know and we can backtrack to a different point and play from there.

 I'll play the same move I played originally. B-4j.

Your previous version of the post was more clever.  In any case, you little smart alec, are you sure you're only 14?  ;)

Was it? I'll change it back then so I don't look as bad. ;) Yes, I'm a naughty little fourteen year-old, but fourteen I am. :D

In all seriousness, I forgot which piece I had captured and said the wrong one without looking at the board.  Then when I did look, I realized my error, and pulled a Ric Olie. ;)  Anyway, still hanging with the kids, so we'll fix it in a bit.

 Gotcha. But leave the Ric Olies for me!
