Moves follow rules distinct from international chess, making this an inviting twist on a classic strategy format.

How to Play Mini Janggi: Capture the Enemy King

Select a piece on the 7x7 board and indicate its destination according to that piece's movement rules. The objective is to defeat the Cho, controlled by the AI, by capturing its king. Two palace areas shape the flow of play, and planning moves carefully around them is central to the game. Guard your own king's palace to avoid unexpected strikes from the Cho.
