An Elegant and Simple Expansion for Onitama

“Once again, rival schools have come to Onitama to see who has the dominant Art. But something is different this time: their activity has attracted the attention of a Wind Spirit! This indomitable force will interfere with the students, but it may grant an unforeseen benefit as well…”

Onitama: Way of the Wind introduces a new neutral piece that can be moved by both players! The wind spirit is an impassable object, neither students nor masters may move into a space occupied by it. Also, if the wind spirit lands on a student pawn, it does not capture it, instead, it swaps places with the student!

This new layer of complexity, along with the wind spirit cards that allow you to move your master or student pawn according to the grid on the top of the card, then move the wind spirit according to the bottom grid, is sure to test your wits and prove definitively which master’s Art is superior.
