Janggi, or Korean Chess, is similar to Xiangqi, with the following differences:

1. There is no river.
2. Pawns have a sideways move right off the bat.
3. The General and Advisors, while still confined to the palace, can move along all lines thereof.
4. Elephants move like a non-leaping Zebra in Fairy Chess (i.e. one point orthogonally followed by two at a forty-five degree angle to the orthogonal direction).
5. Generals start in the center of the palace.
6. Cannons must leap to move as well as capture.

Tropes used in Janggi include:

• Gambit Pileup
• Glass Cannon/One-Hit-Point Wonder
• The Janggi Master: You, if you're good enough.
• Oh Crap/Didn't See That Coming
• Took a Level in Badass: The Pawns, General, Advisors, and Elephants
