The objective of Checkers is to capture your opponent's checkers or leave them without a valid move.

Players take turns moving their own checkers diagonally forward, 1 space at a time. Only empty squares can be occupied. Sometimes you might be blocked or need to jump over your opponent's checker.

If your checker has an opponent's checker and an empty square in front of it, you must jump over the opponent's checker to the empty square. This captures the opponent's checker. You can jump over 2 or more checkers at once.

When you move one of your checkers to the farthest row on the other side of the board, it becomes a "king." Another checker is placed on top, and the king can move forward or backward from now on.
