Checkers

‍‍
Welcome to Checkers. This classic game is a fun way to practice strategy, problem solving, and planning ahead with your clients.

When you first enter the game, you will see the color selection screen. Here, each person can choose what color they want their checkers pieces to be.

Once you are on the board, traditional checkers gameplay begins.

To make a move, click on the piece you want to use. The spaces you are allowed to move to will highlight on the board. Simply click on the highlighted spot to move your piece there.

Regular pieces can only move forward diagonally, one space at a time.

If an opponent's piece is right in front of you with an empty space behind it, you can jump over it to capture it. This is a forced jump game. That means if you have the opportunity to jump and capture an opponent's piece, you have to take it.

Multiple jumps are also part of the game. If landing a jump puts you in position to jump another piece, you must keep going for a double, triple, or even multiple jump.

If you can maneuver your piece all the way down to the opposite end of the board, it becomes a King. Kings have a special power. Unlike regular pieces, a King can move both forward and backward diagonally, giving you a great advantage.

The first person to capture all of their opponent's pieces, or block them from making any more moves, is the winner.

Checkers is a familiar and engaging way to build rapport while practicing critical thinking skills.
