About Checkers

More about the game

Checkers on Playtua is a diagonal-movement strategy game against a robot opponent. Select one of your red pieces, choose a highlighted destination and look for jumps that capture opposing pieces. A capture can lead into another jump, making the landing square important beyond the first exchange. Reaching the far row creates a king that can move in both directions. The 3D board and pieces preserve the familiar layout while keeping the tactical choices visible.

Before taking a piece, inspect the square where your own piece will land. A capture that immediately exposes it may have a different value from one that also improves your position. Watch for connected jumps and for an opponent’s piece that is close to becoming a king. Keeping useful pieces supported can help you maintain choices across the board. Progress is not only about moving forwards quickly: it is also about leaving yourself a position from which the next turn makes sense.

How to play

  1. Tap one of your red pieces to select it.
  2. Tap a highlighted square to move diagonally.
  3. Jump over the robot's pieces to capture them.
  4. Chain multiple jumps in a single turn when you can.
  5. Reach the far row to crown a King that moves both ways.
