Challenging new game by Absolutist for all fans of
board games. Either you need some training for your
logic and strategical skills, or you are in need of
some rest, this game will be a perfect pastime for
you. Play wonderful Checkers Challenge everywhere on
your Macintosh.
The game is played on a board with dark and
light squares, arranged in an 8x8 grid. Each player
sets his 12 pieces on his side of the board in three
ranks on dark checks. Checkers is played on the dark
squares only. The players move one piece at one turn.
The pieces may be moved diagonally. A piece can only
be moved forward. If one of your pieces is next to the
opponent's piece and the square beyond it is free, you
are required to jump over the opponent's
piece. The opponent's piece is then removed from the
board. It is possible to jump many times in a row with
the same piece, capturing several of your opponent's
pieces.
The squares placed in the last row on the
opposite side of the board are King squares. If a
piece reaches the far end of the board, then it
becomes a king. The king is allowed to move and jump
diagonally backwards and forwards. Kings can be
captured like any other pieces.
The game lasts until all of the opponent's
pieces are captured, or are blocked so that they
cannot make a move. The player who loses all the
checkers or has them blocked loses the game.
