Checkers, also called draughts, has been played for centuries and rewards thinking a few moves ahead. This version uses the standard 8x8 rules, including compulsory captures, and the Hard computer will punish a careless move.
How to play
- Pink moves first. Tap a piece, then tap where it should land.
- Men move one square diagonally forward.
- Jump over an enemy piece to capture it. If a capture is available you must take it.
- Keep jumping while you can, tapping each landing square in turn.
- A man reaching the far row becomes a king and can move backwards too.
- You win when your rival has no legal move.
Controls
Tap or click a piece, then its landing square.
Tips
Keep your back row at home for as long as you can, since it stops rivals from crowning. Trading pieces helps when you are ahead.
