Checkers

Goal

Capture all opponent pieces or leave them with no legal moves.

Controls

• Tap a piece, then tap a highlighted square to move or jump.
• Multi-jumps: keep jumping with the same piece when another capture is available.

Rules

• Men move diagonally forward one square onto empty dark squares.
• Jump over an adjacent opponent into the empty square beyond to capture.
• Reaching the far row promotes a man to a king, which can move diagonally both ways.
• The player who cannot move or has no pieces left loses.

Modes

• CPU, pass-and-play, or online multiplayer.

Tips

• Keep a back-row guard so the opponent can’t promote easily.
• Forced captures cut both ways — look ahead before you jump.
