Turkish draughts

About this game

The main feature is that moves and captures with checkers are made horizontally and vertically, and not diagonally, as in most popular types of checkers. Accordingly, the initial arrangement of checkers is different. On a 64-cell board, opponents place their 16 checkers on all cells of the second and third horizontals. You can play the game with artificial intelligence, with another person on one device, or with an opponent online in multiplayer mode. You can also watch other players play, act as a spectator, or suggest your own version of the next move to the player by making it on the board.

How to Play

Launch the game by placing your 16 checkers on the initial rows of the 64-cell board. Shift your checkers in straight lines to adjacent empty squares. Take an opponent's checker by skipping over it to an empty square immediately beyond. Note that captures are mandatory when possible. Promote your checker to a super checker when it reaches the opposite side of the board, allowing it to move and capture freely. Achieve victory by capturing all your opponent's checkers or by immobilizing them so they cannot move. Opt for to play against the AI, a offline opponent, or challenge someone online in multiplayer mode.
