Grandpa's Checkers

Grandpa's Checkers is the classic game of checkers (also called draughts) for iPhone and iPad. Jump your opponent's pieces, crown your kings and clear the board. Just open it and play. Play the computer at any of ten levels, from a gentle beginner to a tough opponent. The computer plays right there on your device, so it works with no internet connection at all. If you close the app part-way through a game, it will still be there when you come back. When you'd like a real opponent, choose Play Online and you'll be paired with whoever is waiting. To say hello or "good game", pick from a short list of ready-made phrases, or switch chat off in Settings and just play. The board is large and clear, and easy to read and touch. Move hints show where a piece can go and which pieces must jump, and the rules are there whenever you need a reminder: forced jumps, double and triple jumps, and kings that move both ways.
