## What is 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.

What's included:
• Ten levels against the computer, from "Just learning" to "Expert"
• Plays the computer offline, on your device
• A game against the computer is kept if you close the app
• Play online against real opponents
• Ready-made chat phrases, which you can switch off
• Choose who goes first against the computer
• Move hints, square numbers and a move list, each one optional
• A clear rules screen: standard American checkers, also known as English draughts
• Optional sound effects
• Works with VoiceOver and your device's text size
• Keyboard shortcuts when your iPad has a keyboard

Free to play.
