Local Checkers Game

American-style checkers enforces mandatory captures, multi-jumps and king promotion for local two-player play.

Capture rules

Men move diagonally forward on dark squares; kings can also move backward. If a capture is available you must take one. After a jump, continue with the same piece if another capture is available. Promotion occurs when a man reaches the final row.
