Checkers

How to play

Start with twelve pieces each. Black moves first, toward the top of the board. White moves toward the bottom.

Move diagonally. Men move one square forward on dark squares. Kings can also move backward.

Take the jump. Captures are mandatory. Jump over an adjacent opposing piece into the empty square beyond it.

Finish the chain. Keep jumping with the same piece while another capture is available. You may choose any available capture path.

Crown a king. Reach the far row to become a king. Crowning ends your turn, even if the new king could jump again.

Win by capturing or blocking every opposing piece. Three repeated positions or 80 turns without a capture or man move draws.
