About the game
An original, fully-offline game of checkers (draughts) vs a tunable CPU — capture, chain jumps, and crown your kings. Play a friend over the net, or the computer offline.
Or play a friend: open a game, hand them six digits — or the QR on screen, or the link — and you are both at the same board, watching each move as it is made.
How to play
- Move a piece diagonally onto an empty dark square. You are red, the CPU is black.
- Capture by jumping over a touching enemy piece to the empty square just beyond it.
- Multi-jumps: if the same piece can jump again, it must keep going in one turn.
- With Forced capture on, if any jump is available you must take one.
- Reach the far row to be crowned a King — kings move and capture both directions.
- Win by capturing all enemy pieces or leaving the CPU with no legal move.
