Turkish draughts

About Turkish draughts

The main feature is that moves and captures with checkers are made horizontally and vertically, and not diagonally, as in most popular types of checkers. Accordingly, the initial arrangement of checkers is different. On a 64-cell board, opponents place their 16 checkers on all cells of the second and third horizontals. You can play the game with artificial intelligence, with another person on one device, or with an opponent online in multiplayer mode. You can also watch other players play, act as a spectator, or suggest your own version of the next move to the player by making it on the board.

How to Play

Begin the game by placing your 16 checkers on the starting rows of the 64-cell board. Slide your checkers horizontally to neighboring empty squares. Remove an opponent's checker by jumping over it to an empty square immediately beyond. Note that captures are required when possible. Advance your checker to a king when it reaches the far side of the board, allowing it to move and capture backwards. Achieve victory by taking each of your opponent's checkers or by immobilizing them so they cannot move. Opt for to play against the artificial intelligence, a same-device opponent, or face someone online in multiplayer mode.
