🎯 Objectives
Your primary and only objective in Mini Janggi is to achieve checkmate, which means placing the opponent's King (Han) under an inescapable threat of capture. This is your long-term win condition. Your short-term goals involve strategic positioning: control the center of the board, protect your own King, and systematically capture your opponent's pieces to weaken their defenses. Success comes from anticipating your AI opponent's moves, using your Cannons for powerful jumps, and leveraging the palace diagonals for surprise attacks. A game can also end in a draw if neither player can force a checkmate.
