Basic Rules

Movement: Regular pieces move one square diagonally forward. Kings can move diagonally in either direction.

Capturing: Jump diagonally over an opposing piece to capture it. Captures are compulsory, and you must keep jumping when another capture is available.

Making a King: When a piece reaches the far side of the board, it becomes a king and can move and capture in both directions.

Winning: Win by capturing all of your opponent’s pieces or leaving them with no legal moves.

Looking back over your games helps you spot missed chances and learn from mistakes. With regular play, you can track your progress and see your rating improve over time.

A game of checkers is an easy way to share time with friends. Celebrate wins, laugh over unexpected moves, and make memories even when you are apart. It’s more than a game—it’s time together.

It works especially well for long-distance friendships and busy schedules. Regular matches can become a shared tradition that keeps you connected.

Make It a Catch-Up: Turn a game into a chance to catch up. Talk about life as you play, so each match feels like a social occasion as well as a competition.
