About this game

Discover the Dynasty of Strategy with our Premier Janggi App!

Delve into a realm where ancient intellect meets modern innovation with one of the top Janggi apps available in the app store!

Janggi, also known as Korean chess, is a strategic board game that is deeply cherished across the Korean Peninsula. This compelling game is rooted in the rich soils of history, having evolved from Xiangqi (Chinese Chess). While it shares many similarities with its ancestor, including the 9×10 game board and the initial placement of pieces, Janggi sets itself apart by excluding the Xiangqi's central river, adding its own unique tactical elements.

The Janggi battlefield is a grid of nine lines by ten, where two armies clash with swift moves. Games can be thrilling and fast-paced, featuring leaping cannons and long-ranging elephants that capture the essence of ancient warfare.

Ratings and reviews

It does not enforce the three-move rule. It's going to be damn f***ing annoying when you end up repeating the same moves with the AI again and again and again and again... 😴

I don't like to draw a situation whenever my king faces against the other king. There shouldn't be a draw.
