How to play checkers

There are two ways to play checkers: traditional way and multiplayer way.

1, traditional gameplay

In China, checkers is regarded as a traditional board game with profound historical and cultural connotations. Traditional Chinese checkers are played by two people, and each person controls a group of chess pieces, representing red and black respectively. At the beginning of the game, the red chess piece is located below the chessboard and the black chess piece is located above the chessboard. In the process of the game, players need to use their own pieces to cross each other's pieces and eat each other's pieces.

2, multiplayer games

Besides traditional and international games, there is also a multiplayer game-team checkers. Team checkers is a game between two teams. Each team consists of several players, and the players need to work together. In team checkers, players need to support and cooperate with each other, occupy the territory on the board together, and force each other to have no way out.

Skills of playing checkers

In checkers, we should not only pay attention to each other's pieces, but also pay attention to our own pieces. Because only when our pieces are in a better position will we have more chances to eat each other's pieces. So in the game, try to keep your pieces in different positions and create as many chances as possible to win.

Among the rules of checkers, there are many rules that must be mastered. For example, when our chess piece is eaten by the other side, we should think carefully about how to move the next chess piece. Also pay attention to some pieces that hinder the opponent's checkers, such as locking horses specially used to block the opponent's pieces. At this time, we can lure our opponents to eat with fake chess.
