Turkish draughts

About this game

The main feature is that moves and captures with checkers are made horizontally and vertically, and not diagonally, as in most popular types of checkers. Accordingly, the initial arrangement of checkers is different. On a 64-cell board, opponents place their 16 checkers on all cells of the second and third horizontals. You can play the game with artificial intelligence, with another person on one device, or with an opponent online in multiplayer mode. You can also watch other players play, act as a spectator, or suggest your own version of the next move to the player by making it on the board.

How to Play

Launch the game by arranging your 16 checkers on the second and third rows of the 64-cell board. Shift your checkers vertically to next empty squares. Capture an opponent's checker by skipping over it to an empty square immediately beyond. Keep in mind that captures are required when possible. Promote your checker to a super checker when it reaches the opposite side of the board, allowing it to move and capture backwards. Win by capturing all your opponent's checkers or by trapping them so they cannot move. Select to play against the computer, a local opponent, or compete against someone online in multiplayer mode.
