Local two players; an automatic draw follows 80 quiet non-promotion half-moves.
Practice beyond the first move
When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round. Make the next step deliberately.
The purpose of your moves
Capture or immobilise all opposing pieces under English draughts rules. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Review the board or playing area as it changes.
The steps to play
- Select a piece, then its legal diagonal destination.
- A capture must be taken when available.
- Continue a jump chain with the same piece; promotion ends that capture turn.
- Kings move and capture diagonally both ways.
Getting comfortable with the controls
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.
Learn from a sample situation
An adjacent enemy with an empty square beyond it requires a jump rather than a quiet move. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Keep the game’s format in mind.
Check this before moving on
These are English short-king rules, not international flying kings. A different version of the game may use a different rule. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
