Have you ever played the Cub Corner game “A Strong Foundation”? You can spend hours trying to get the different blocks to form a square or rectangle foundation. The more you build, the stronger your foundation and the more points you get, but you better hurry before the timer runs out! To date, this game has only been available on the Cub Corner website (cubcorner.org/games). Now, we have created a mobile app version that you can play anywhere! For the new comers, here’s how you play: • Hit the play button, and look for a square or rectangle that has 4 corners of the same kind. • Select each of the 4 blocks, and watch the entire square disappear and rearrange, while giving you points. • NOTE: the more blocks you include inside your square/rectangle, the more points you will receive. If you build an entire foundation out of the 4 corner blocks, you get extra bonus points. • Time is running…so don’t hesitate. See if you can beat your high score.

One player has dark pieces, and one player has light pieces. They take turns moving their pieces. Players move their pieces diagonally from one square to another square. When a player jumps over their opponent's (the other player's) piece, he takes that piece from the board. By default a potential piece will have to be taken but you can set custom rules and disable this rule. The player's goal is to take all the pieces of its opponent. With this version of Checkers (also known as Draughts) , you can play with a friend who sits next to you or play against your phone.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: A Strong Foundation at none against Checkers `'s shown. A Strong Foundation also leads on rating (3.8 vs 3.4) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Checkers `'s advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 44 months) and ratings volume (79 vs 6). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
A Strong Foundation holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Checkers ` has 79 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of A Strong Foundation's written reviews are positive against 62% of Checkers `'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
A Strong Foundation ships an update every 44 months, Checkers ` every 5 weeks. Both last shipped on November 6, 2026.
