International draughts — also called international checkers — is the strategy board game played on a 10x10 board with 20 pieces per side. Captures are mandatory, you must always take the maximum, and kings fly. If you already know 8×8 checkers, this is the bigger, deeper version.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.305 — 2026-08-31

THE DAILY BOARD
• Your day is now four quests, not five puzzles. Play a game against the computer or online, win one, review one of your own games, or pull off a draughts feat — a four-piece capture, a coronation, a Turkish strike.
• One quest stays face down until you tap it, so there is something to find out every day.
• Clear all four and the Board Bonus lands on top.

CROWNS FOR PLAYING
• Finishing a game now earns Crowns even when you lose. Winning still pays the full amount on top.
• Analysing one of your games earns Crowns for the first time.
