## What is Dama?

Dama is the checkers played across Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia — in cafés, with bottle caps on a hand-drawn board. This is that game, faithfully:

• Two ways to play: Tournament (official rules) and Café Mode, the café way
• The mirrored Moroccan board — double corner on your left
• Men capture forward only; crowning stops the move
• In Tournament, captures are mandatory and you must take the longest line
• Flying kings (a crowned piece is a dama) that sweep the diagonals
• Café Mode: bottle-cap pieces, touch-move, and nefkh — end your turn short of the best capture and your opponent blows the piece that should have eaten clean off the board
• Draws by threefold repetition or the 40-move rule

Play against the computer in three difficulties — a quick game on Easy, a real fight on Hard. No account, no ads, no tracking: open the app and your first move is waiting.

Not Turkish dama, not American checkers — the North African game, with its own rules and its own tempo.
