Tomorrow night at 5pm UK time, live on the ol' Twitch streaming website, our intrepid tabletop gamer and video guy James Gilmour will be making a triumphant return with a shiny new game - Onitama.

Well, it's not that new. Onitama did come out just over a week ago, but it is pretty shiny - we even gave it a Silver Award in our review, calling it "a light board game experience that hides a huge amount of depth".

Not sure what it is? It's a bit like chess, mixed in with some Clash Royale, and all rolled together in Chinese-themed wrapper. It's easy to pick up, plays quickly, and is a ton of fun to boot.

You're definitely going to want to take a look, so head on over to the Twitch page now to get familiar with the place and check out some of the other streams we've done in the past. It'll be great, we promise.
