A game of Checkers in progress

Checkersチェッカー

Jump the other side's pieces off the board. Capturing is forced, and a king moves both ways.

Descended from alquerque, a jumping-capture game played around the Mediterranean and the Middle East for centuries; a French rule-maker is said to have set it on a chessboard and added the forced capture around 1100. The English form the site plays here was written down in the 18th century and crossed the Atlantic largely unchanged, as American checkers.

Also known as Draughts, English Draughts, American Checkers.

The object 目的

  • Leave the other side with no piece that can move: jump theirs off the board until none is left, or shut in whatever remains.
  • No lines and nothing placed after the start: every piece is down from the first move, and the whole game is in how they step and jump.
