Checkers rule

Checkers are generally divided into 2 players, 4 players and 6 players. Pairs of people should put the pieces face to face, so that the chances are equal.

Checkers should take a straight (line) step and then stop at the point. Everyone takes turns to take a step and push counterclockwise.

When there is a gap on the way to checkers and there is a gap in front of the gap, you can skip the gap and enter the gap in front; If there happens to be another child, and there is room in front of the empty space, the child can continue to jump. We must master a rule: jumping children and separated children and empty seats should be in a straight line. The next hop can change the direction of the jump, but it can't violate this rule.

In addition, the rules of checkers should be announced and stipulated before the game. Because of the development of checkers, there are two or three kinds of games. Every two children, that is, there are two children blocking the jump, and there are 1 spaces to jump. Every three hops means that there are 1 vacancies every three hops.
