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

Begin the game by arranging your 16 checkers on the starting rows of the 64-cell board. Move your checkers in straight lines to next empty squares. Remove an opponent's checker by skipping over it to an empty square immediately beyond. Keep in mind that captures are compulsory when possible. Promote your checker to a enhanced piece when it reaches the enemy's side of the board, allowing it to move and capture backwards. Succeed by taking each of your opponent's checkers or by immobilizing them so they cannot move. Select to play against the artificial intelligence, a offline opponent, or face someone online in multiplayer mode.
