## What is opencheckers?

Play classic American checkers against the computer, on a clean board with none of the junk that clutters this genre.

No ads. No tracking. No accounts. No in-app purchases. opencheckers never touches the network. It's just the game. You can even play it in airplane-mode.

CLASSIC RULES
• 8x8 board, 12 pieces each
• Captures are mandatory, and a multi-jump keeps going until the piece can jump no more
• Reach the far row to crown a king
• Win by taking every piece or leaving your opponent with no legal move

PLAY YOUR WAY
• Three difficulty levels: Easy, Medium, and Hard
• Play as Red or Black
• Tap a piece to see its legal moves, then tap where it should go
• The last move is highlighted, so you can always see what the computer just did
• Two-finger tap for the menu; your game is kept and can be resumed
