CHECKERS

Game Play: Checkers is a game for two (2) players. Each player selects a checker color and places their twelve (12)-playing pieces on alternate squares of the first three- (3) rows on the game board. Both players must place their checkers on the same color squares. Each player moves the checkers, in turn. To remove the opponent’s checker from the board, the player must jump that piece. To jump an opponent’s piece, the jumping checkers passes over the captured checker in a diagonal direction and must land in a square that is vacant. All moves must be made in a diagonal fashion and must always be moved to the same Color Square. Double and triple jumps may be made in the same sequence as long as vacant squares exist in any forward diagonal direction. When a player’s checker reaches the opponent’s last row on the other side of the game board – this checker becomes a "King". It becomes a "King" by having another checker (of the same color) placed on top of it. A "King" may move both forward as well as backward on the game board in a diagonal direction.
