How to play

Goal

Capture all of your opponent's pieces by jumping over them, or leave the opponent with no legal move.

How do regular checkers move?: Regular checkers move one dark square diagonally forward.
How do captures work?: Jump over an adjacent opposing checker into the empty square beyond it. the jumped checker is removed.
Why must I capture?: If any capture is available, you must take a capture instead of a normal move.
When does a jump continue?: After a capture, keep jumping with the same checker while another capture is available.
What is a king?: A checker reaching the opposite back row becomes a king and can move or capture forward and backward.
