How To Play
Use the mouse or touch the screen to play.
- Board Setup:
- Set up the checkers board, which consists of an 8x8 grid of squares.
- Place the board between the two players, with a dark square in the lower-left corner for each player.
- Each player starts with 12 pieces, typically round discs, of the same color (usually red and black).
- Movement Rules:
- The game is played on the dark squares of the board, diagonally.
- Each player can only move their pieces forward, towards the opponent's side of the board.
- Regular moves involve moving a piece one square diagonally forward to an empty adjacent square.
- Pieces can never move or capture backward unless they become a king (explained later).
- Capturing is optional but mandatory if an opportunity arises.
- Capturing:
- If a player's piece is adjacent to an opponent's piece and there is an empty square immediately beyond it, the player can jump over the opponent's piece and capture it.
- Multiple captures can be made in a single turn if they are in a continuous diagonal line.
- When a piece makes a capturing move, it continues capturing as long as there are valid opportunities on the board.
- After making a capturing move, the capturing piece can choose to continue capturing with the same piece or stop and end its turn.
- Kinging:
- When a player's piece reaches the farthest row on the opponent's side of the board, it is crowned as a "king."
- A king has additional movement abilities. It can move both forward and backward diagonally, unlike regular pieces that can only move forward.
- A king can also capture both forward and backward diagonally.
- Gameplay:
- The players take turns moving their pieces.
- On your turn, you can move one of your pieces to an adjacent empty square or capture an opponent's piece if possible.
- If a capturing move is available, it must be taken. The capturing move takes priority over regular moves.
- If a piece reaches the last row on the opponent's side, it becomes a king.
- Winning the Game:
- The game ends when one of the following conditions is met:
- One player captures all of their opponent's pieces.
- The opponent cannot make any more moves because their pieces are blocked.
- If a game ends in a draw, it's usually because both players agree, or the same position is repeated three times.
