General Game Rules
- The goal of Checkers is to beat your opponent by jumping over his or her pieces diagonally, thus removing this piece. The opponent who removes the other opponents pieces wins
- As a 2-player game, decided who goes first with a coin toss or ‘rock-papper’scissors’
- When moving pieces, you are allowed to move forward 1 diagonal square at a time
- In order to defeat an opponents piece, you must hop over (diagonally) 1 piece at a time
- It is possible to double-jump by hopping over an opponents checker, then immediately after, hopping over another piece if it is available to be hopped
- If one of your checkers reaches the other side (past your opponent) the piece is considered to be ‘Kinged’ at which point this piece can move anywhere on the board (diagonally) 1 square in any direction, thereby giving you the ability to attack your opponent from behind
