Checkers
How to play
Gameplay
Draughts. Pieces move diagonally forward, and hopping over an adjacent enemy piece captures it; if the landing square allows another hop, the capture chain continues. Reaching the far row crowns a piece as a king, which may move and capture in all four diagonal directions. You win by taking every enemy piece or by leaving the opponent with no legal move.
Controls
Click your piece, then click the destination square. When a multi-jump is available the app walks you through each hop and enforces the full chain. Crowned pieces show a marker. You can play against the computer or take turns with a second player.
FAQ
What changes in Checkers' Advanced (forced capture) mode?
When any capture exists on the board you must take it: pieces without a jump cannot be selected, and the highlighted targets are capture moves only. Toggling the mode restarts the game.
Can one piece capture several in a single turn in Checkers?
Yes - after a jump, if the same piece can jump again, your turn continues with that piece locked in place until no further captures are available.
