How to play

Goal

Move every one of your pieces into the opposite home triangle before the other players.

How does a single step work?: Move one piece to any adjacent empty hole connected by a board line.
How does a jump work?: Jump an adjacent occupied hole—your colour or another—into the empty hole directly beyond it.
May I jump more than once?: Yes. Continue jumping with the same piece through a chain of legal landings during one turn.
Are jumped pieces removed?: No. Chinese Checkers jumps are movement only. every jumped piece stays on the board.
Why build routes?: Useful spacing creates jump ladders that move pieces much farther than isolated steps.
