About this Game

Play Korean chess online — free, no download, no signup. Janggi is Korea's traditional strategy board game where you capture the opponent's General on a 9×10 board. With unique Cannon movement rules and pre-game piece arrangement choices, it offers a fresh twist on the chess family.

Stone Online features four AI difficulty levels so you can practice anytime. Build your skills against AI, then challenge real players when you're ready. Completely free, instant play in your browser.

Beloved in Korea since the Joseon Dynasty, Janggi shares roots with Chinese Chess but has developed its own distinct identity — the Horse-Elephant swap, palace rules, and the bikjang draw condition create strategic possibilities found nowhere else.

How to Play

Play on a 9×10 board — Cho (Green) moves first. Seven piece types: General, Chariot, Cannon, Horse, Elephant, Guard, and Soldier. The General and Guards stay inside the 3×3 palace. The Cannon must jump over exactly one piece to move or capture, and can't jump over another Cannon.

Capture the opponent's General to win. Both Generals facing each other on the same column means a draw (bikjang). You can swap Horse and Elephant positions before the game starts. Jump into a game against the AI — you'll learn the pieces in no time!
