How to play draughts?

The rules are simple:

  • The pieces must always move one square at a time, on the black squares.

  • The moves must be made diagonally only forward, except for a King.

  • To take an opponent’s piece, you have to jump over it to an empty square.

  • Multi-takes are allowed and can be made by the same piece successively.

  • When a piece reaches the last opposing line of the board, it becomes King and can take backward.

  • To win the game, you have to eat all your opponent’s pieces or block them so they can not make any valid move.
