Checkers

Capture all of the opponent's pieces, or block them so they have no legal move. You win when your opponent cannot move!

Regular pieces move diagonally forward one square at a time, only on dark squares.

Red moves up the board; Black moves down.

Jump diagonally over an opponent's piece to capture it. The landing square must be empty.

Captures are mandatory — if a capture is available you must take it.

If another capture is possible after landing, you must continue jumping (multi-jump) in the same turn.

When a piece reaches the far end of the board it becomes a King (marked with a crown).

Kings can move and capture both forward and backward.

• Keep your back row full as long as possible — it prevents the opponent from Kinging.
• Trade pieces when you're ahead; avoid trades when behind.
• Push to the King row quickly — Kings are far more powerful.
