App Description

Checkers/Draughts is the classic Checkers/Draughts game with a extremely great look, specially designed for iPhone.

Each player starts with 12 pieces on the three rows closest to their own side. The row closest to each player is called the "King Row". The red color moves first.

A player can move in two ways. A piece can be moved forward, diagonally, to the very next dark square. But if one player's piece, the other player's piece, and an empty square are lined up, then the first player must "jump" the other player's piece. In this case, the first player jumps over the other player's piece onto the empty square and takes the other player's piece off the board. A player can use one piece to make multiple jumps in any one single turn, provided each jump continues to lead immediately into the next jump. Sometimes a player may have the option or a choice of which opponent piece he must jump. In such cases, he may then choose which to jump.

If a player's piece moves into the King Row on the other player's side, it becomes a king. It can move forward and backward. (Regular pieces can only move forward.) A king cannot jump out of the King Row until the next turn.

Its a very easy and a addictive game. Give it a try.
