Onitama is a 2 player, information abstract game with a random starting set-up. On a 5x5 board, both players start with five pawns on their side, and the main pawn in the middle.
Each player has two open cards that show a possible move for any of there pieces. There is a fifth card that can't be used by either player. On a player's turn, they select one of their cards, moves one of their pieces according to the chosen card, then replaces the card they used with the fifth card. The other player then selects one of their cards, moves accordingly, and exchanges that card with the fifth card — which is, obviously, the card the first player just used.
Moving onto one of the opponent's pawns takes that pawn from the game. Taking a players main pawn, or moving your main pawn into the other players main pawn's starting space, wins you the game.
