In Upgi Janggi, you play a two-player variant of traditional Korean chess, Janggi, where pieces like Chariots, Cannons, Horses, Elephants, and Soldiers can be stacked. Stacked pieces can move as one unit using either component’s movement or be partially separated to move individually. Special rules restrict Cannon movements even when stacked. The game uses a modular square grid board, creating tactical depth through unique stacking and movement options.
Who Is This Game For?
Upgi Janggi is aimed at fans of abstract strategy games and traditional chess variants. It is a two-player game without a solo mode, suited for experienced players familiar with strategic board games. The lack of fixed playing time means players should be prepared for variable game length and complexity.
How It Works
The game uses grid movement on a modular square board. Players stack two pieces max to create combined units that can move either together or partially separate. Movement and capture depend on the component pieces' abilities. Cannons cannot jump over or capture other Cannons, even when stacked. This adds strategic layers to positioning and movement decisions.

Upgi Janggi is a traditional Janggi variant enhanced with a unique stacking and balancing mechanic. Part of the Janggi and chess family, it combines classic grid movement with modular board design.
