We value your privacy as much as you do! Checkers HOW TO PLAY Choose to play against the computer or with a friend Press on a piece to select it and then choose a move or jump, press it again to put it down Always keep your pieces doubled up diagonally to block your opponent's jumps Quickly get your pieces promoted to kings so they can move forward and backward across the board Try to lure your opponent into a double or triple jump trap Use the side of the board to prevent being jumped, but don't get stuck!

Kings can move diagonally forwards and backwards, making them more powerful in jumping over opponent pieces. However, if you jump over a piece to become a King you can not jump backwards over another piece in the same move, you have to wait until the next turn to start moving backwards. Jumping over opponents is required. However, if you have two possible moves, where one jumps over one opponent and the other jumps over two or more opponents you are not required to take the jump with the most opponents captured, you are just required to take any jump move.

This online version of Checkers was made by me. My name is Einar Egilsson and over there on the left is my current Facebook profile picture! Checkers is one of those games, much like Backgammon , that I've always wanted to make, but needed to learn it properly first.

Well, I finally learnt it, made it and here it is. I hope you enjoy it! Any comments, questions, ideas for other games or anything else can be sent to admin cardgames.
