Checkers (also known as Draughts) is the classic two-player strategy board game that has been played for centuries! Two armies of twelve pieces each face off on an 8×8 board, moving diagonally and capturing opponents by jumping over them. When your piece reaches the opposite end of the board, it becomes a King with enhanced movement abilities. Simple to learn yet containing deep strategic elements, Checkers offers endless replayability!
Capture all of your opponent's pieces or block them so they cannot move. Advance your pieces across the board to reach the opposite end and become Kings. Use strategic positioning and forced capture rules to outmaneuver your opponent!
Click a piece to select, then click a valid square to move. Regular pieces move diagonally forward. Jump over opponent pieces to capture them. Kings can move backward.
Click on a piece to select it, then click on a highlighted valid square to move. Moves are diagonal on dark squares only. When a jump is available, you must take it.
