- Game Play
- In general you want to open up the center of the board to give yourself many move options & you are not forced to make a move you do not want to.
- Try to keep your pieces in a triangular formation where they protect one another.
- Pieces which are in the back row or the sides of the board are hard to take unless your opponent forces you to move because they can’t jump over them to a cell which does not exist.
- In some cases you can use a piece in a sacrificial way to make your opponent move a piece into position to allow you to double jump their pieces.
- When making moves anticipate enemy responses so you do not accidentally set up a combo move for your opponent.
- Try to get a king as early as you can in the game without allowing your opponent to do the same.
- A King allows you to make idle moves back and forth while forcing the opponent to make moves even if they do not have a good move to make.
- Obtaining Kings also allows you to pick off opposing forces from behind their front lines without them being able to do anything in response.
- Target Audience
- Checkers players of all ages should like this game.
