Checkers [note 1] (American English), also known as draughts (/ d r ɑː f t s, d r æ f t s /; British English), is a group of strategy board games for two players which involve forward movements of uniform game pieces and mandatory captures by jumping over opponent pieces. Checkers is developed from alquerque. [1]
Men can jump diagonally forward only; kings can jump in any diagonal direction. A jumped piece is considered "captured" and removed from the game. Any piece, king or man, can jump a king. Jumping is always mandatory: if a player has the option to jump, they must take it, even if doing so results in disadvantage for the jumping player.
Old school fun awaits you in Checkers! Today's Game of the Day is Checkers, the classic board game that everyone loves! Play free online Checkers with traditional rules (you must jump if possible).
One difference from the rules of English checkers is that a piece may capture both forward and backward. A player must capture an opponent's checker when possible (both forward and backward), but if two possibilities exist, the player may choose the sequence (even if one sequence has more jumps).
You all know the rules to Checkers: you can only move diagonally forwards, and if you are placed diagonally to an opponent's piece, you hop over it and claim it for yourself!
