Slide your discs diagonally across a checkered board, hopping over opponent pieces to capture them and clear a path. Reach the far row and your piece is crowned a king, gaining the power to move both forward and back. The board empties fast once jumps start chaining.
How to play Checkers
- Move a piece one square diagonally forward
- Jump over an adjacent enemy piece to capture it
- Chain multiple jumps in a single turn when available
- Crown a piece by reaching the opponent's back row
Tips & strategy
- Keep pieces on your back row to block enemy kings
- Trade pieces when you are ahead in material
- Push toward the edges where pieces cannot be jumped
Controls: Tap a piece, then tap the diagonal square to move or jump.
