About Master Checkers
Jump or be jumped. Master Checkers brings the traditional board game to your browser, with two sides moving pieces diagonally and capturing by leaping over their opponent.
Captures are mandatory, which is the rule that gives checkers its tactical bite. Sometimes you have to take a piece even when you would rather not, and clever players use that to set traps. Thinking two or three moves ahead is the key skill. Everything runs on mouse clicks: select a piece, then choose the square you want it to land on. There is nothing to install, and a game can fit neatly into a coffee break.
