Janggi - Offline Korean Chess

Janggi (Korean chess) to play alone or with a friend, no internet needed. No sign-in.


■ Play the computer

- Six levels, from Beginner to Master.
- The computer varies its first moves, so games don't repeat.
- The computer never resigns - it plays to the end.
- It doesn't keep you waiting (under 2 seconds a move, even at the top level).


■ Two players

- Put one phone between you and take turns.
- Sitting face to face? Flip the top pieces' characters.


■ Easy to play

- Unlimited undo. Against the computer, your move and its reply are taken back together.
- Every move is saved. A call or closing the app won't lose your game.
- Tap a spot you can't move to and see why (get out of check first, no third repetition, and so on).
- Warnings when bikjang (the two generals facing each other with nothing between) is on or the move limit is near.
- Stuck? Ask for a hint.


■ Setups and rules

- Pick your setup and your opponent's (horse and elephant order), or a random computer setup.
- Play Cho (moves first) or Han (+1.5 points).
- Scoring: chariot 13, cannon 7, horse 5, elephant 3, guard 3, soldier 2. No draws.
- Pass, bikjang, repetition and move limits (100 or 200) follow the rules. Bikjang can be turned off.
- Results show why: checkmate, resignation or score.


■ Display

- Pieces in Chinese characters (車 包 馬) or Korean letters.
- Large pieces on a clear board. The selected piece gets a thick outline and legal moves show as dots.
- Your record by level.


■ Privacy

Your games are never sent to our servers. If Android backup is on, they are included in your Google account backup, so they can carry over to a new phone.
