lol.

I have no clue how it would work, and it looks pretty old, but man it looks like fun. (asuming that the point of the game is to score an ippon by smacking the board over your opponent's head)

Actually I think I should, even if just for the LOLs

babelfish translation of description:
The pawns are divided in guerrieri (of value 3), samurai (of value 2) and the prince (of value 1). Scope of the game is to carry the prince in the palace to the center of the map. In order to make it it is necessary to move the own pawns on the field from long game the hexagons designs you of many "angles" quant' is their value. Opposing pieces cannot be crossed, but if the movement finishes on one of they the piece is eliminated. If it comes eliminated the prince, the player is outside, but its pieces remain in game firm to hinder the opposing movements. The first one that door the prince to the palace totals 5 points bonus more the points of pieces remained in field. Who totals more heads after a series of games is the winner

I mean that makes total sense, right?

You're forgiven for your blunder. Most Americans aren't even aware that there are various dialects of Europeanish.

Most Americans are unaware that there's any other language than American English...
