Yellow Mountain Imports Shogi Japanese Chess Magnetic Travel Game Set
This product was recommended by Marty Spargo from BiaCoffee
I first found out about Shogi when I was watching Kuroko’s Basketball on Netflix. I’ve always considered myself a fan of Seijuro Akashi. There was this scene where Seijuro and Shinator were playing Shogi and I got curious since Seijuro was playing it. So, I texted one of my Japanese friends to explain to me how Shogi works and taught me how to play it. She came over to my apartment one time and played Shogi with me. After that, I got so addicted to playing this Japanese version of chess and asked her to play every week.

Pacman My Arcade Pocket Player Handheld Game Console
This product was recommended by Christina Russo from The Kitchen Community
I’m an old-school gamer, and having four older brothers meant that the first games I played were a generation or two older than the first games most of my friends played. And Pacman was one of those games. I became hooked on the idea that the game, as I later found life would, became, and becomes progressively harder and faster until it beats you. It was and as, the ultimate reflection of the human condition.
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice
This product was recommended by Wilhelmina “Billie” Zeelen from Bzice
I love a challenge, I thrive off of hard games such as Dark Souls and Bloodborne where you have to use the fight mechanics and strategize to beat the bad guys, knowing this my friend recommend Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice to me saying it was a little different but I would definitely enjoy it. I did very much enjoy it, it took me a while to get used to it, I was dying over and over, but when you finally get through an enemy it makes it feel that more satisfying. The design and atmosphere of the game are among the best I’ve ever seen and it really immerses you into their world. I would recommend this game to anyone who enjoys games like Dark Souls and loves a bit of a challenge.

Daruma Otoshi is generally a Japanese party game but can be played at any time. This game requires a player to use a hammer to knock off pieces stacked together. The player has to do this without letting the piece at the top, Daruma, fall. Instead, the player is supposed to knock off the lower pieces until there are no more pieces below the Daruma. This particular set is 9 inches long and made of wood. Daruma Otoshi is an entertaining and rib-cracking game.
Ys: The Oath In Felghana
This product was recommended by Dan Troha from Draftsim
I really enjoyed Ys: The Oath in Felghana which only became available in English in 2012 as a PSP game, about seven years after it was released in Japan. Like the others from Ys, it is a mesmerising RPG. Although I didn’t know this when I first started playing it, it’s a remake of Ys III: Wanderers from Ys. Ys: The Oath in Felghana is very challenging and demanding, but totally satisfying in the end. The finale is worth waiting for and fighting out with everything you’ve got. The PSP 3D graphics were really impressive at the time. Though they have dated to some extent, you can certainly still appreciate them all the same. The storyline and scripting are truly epic and tragic, if you like strong characterizations then this game is suited to you. This is also a good choice if you want to get into Ys games and are not sure which one to start with. I immensely enjoyed the original soundtrack as well!
