Checkers

2 players 10–20 min

Classic draughts: jump, chain captures and crown your kings. Simple to learn, sneaky to master.

How to play

Move one piece diagonally forward to an empty square.
If you can jump an opponent piece, you must; keep jumping with the same piece while you can.
Reach the far row to become a king that moves both ways.
Take all their pieces (or leave them no moves) to win.
