Two-Player
Checkers
Claim the board, jump every piece, and corner the last king in a five-minute match.
If the game does not load, open it directly.
How to play Checkers
You and the rival alternate turns. Tap one of your pieces, then a highlighted square to move diagonally forward.
Capture by jumping over an adjacent enemy piece into an empty square. A forced-capture rule keeps the exchange honest.
Reach the far row to crown a king. Kings can move and capture backwards.
Win by capturing every rival piece or leaving the rival with no legal move.
Tips for a better run
- Keep your back row intact until the centre opens up.
- Trade pieces when you are ahead; a king is worth more than two trapped pieces.
- Watch forced-capture chains. The highlighted squares show every legal landing.
