Checkers is a two-player board game with a board marked with an eight by eight grid often colored black and red or black and white.
-
How to Play
- Players sit on opposite sides of the game board. Each player chooses their color piece, commonly red or black.
- The pieces should be lined up on the dark colored squares of the board, beginning at the bottom four in each row for the first three rows.
- Each player takes a turn moving a pieces one space diagonally across the board. The pieces must move only on dark colored squares and only forward on the board in the opposite direction the opponent moves.
- In order to capture an opponent's piece, a player must jump diagonally over the piece intended for capture. More than one piece can be captured in one move if there is a path of diagonal jumps that can be made. Captured pieces are removed from the board.
- Once a piece has gets to the opposite side the board, it is crowned by either being turned over or by using a captured piece layered over it so that it can be distinguished from the other pieces. A crowned piece, or a king, is capable of moving forwards and backwards across the board.
- The game continues until the losing player has no more pieces or can't move any pieces.
