Checkers, also referred to as draughts, is a tactical board game designed for two participants. You can engage in single-player mode (Player vs Computer) or compete in multiplayer with a friend.
Each participant starts the game with 12 pieces, or checkers, arranged in the three rows closest to their respective side. The aim of the game is to capture all of your rival’s checkers or position your pieces in such a way that your opponent has no legal moves left. The fundamental movement involves moving a checker one space diagonally forward. Enjoy the game!
Select your piece, and you will see an available movement (highlighted in blue). Click on the blue tile, and your piece will transition to the target.
