thanks sue,
but they are not same in French
Un joueur a construit une ligne de 5 pierres de sa couleur dans n'importe quelle direction, horizontalement, verticalement ou diagonalement.

mangue: The rules changed awhile back (maybe a year or so ago) - before that, horizontal lines were allowed - but a certain pattern by white made it very easy for white to win - so the rules were changed.

If the French rules still say horizontal is allowed, then I would guess it is a bug that the rules in that language was never updated.

You may want to post it to the bug tracker that the rules are not correct in French. (since I'm not sure how often Fencer reads this board)

Please sign up -> 1500 ;), 10000 :D, 1600 ;) (single elimination for 8, Fisher's clock 3/0.8/15 with autopass & immediately start)

Hasami Shogi - I need 5 palyers more

& other games

nosovs:
Brainking version is not what Japanese people call it Hasami Shogi. Japanese Localization cannot use the name Hasami Shogi to avoid confusion. So the translator had to add Renju to have distinction. As a game fan in general, I agree that Brainking version is far more exciting than conventional Japanese one and I hope Japanese people love it!
