Shogi Sanmai ("Shogi Samadhi", where Samadhi is a yoga/Hindu/Buddhist term referring to a state of focus through meditative trance) is a shogi game for the Super Famicom. It features multiple "instance puzzles" where the player is given a limited number of pieces with which to checkmate their opponent. Each of these instances sets up the board in a specific way, giving the player specific pieces to place. The game also has standard shogi modes for players wishing to compete against a CPU opponent.
