Checkers
Classic draughts against the computer: jump over pieces to take them, reach the far side to become a king.
How to play
- You are black at the bottom and move first. Pieces move one square diagonally forward.
- Jump over a computer piece onto the empty square behind it to take it. If you can jump, you must.
- Reach the far row and your piece becomes a king (♛), which can also move backwards.
- Tap your piece, then tap where it should go. Take all the computer’s pieces, or leave it no move, to win.
