Chinese Checkers is a board game of German origin (named "Sternhalma") which can be played by two, three, four, or six people, playing individually or with partners. The game is a modern and simplified variation of the US game Halma. The objective is to be first to race one's pieces across the hexagram-shaped board into "home"—the corner of the star opposite one's starting corner—using single-step moves or moves that jump over other pieces. The remaining players continue the game to establish second-, third-, fourth-, fifth-, and last-place finishers.Like other skill-based games, Chinese Checkers involves strategy. The rules are simple, so even young children can play.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: YaDicee at none against Halma's shown. YaDicee also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 4 months). Halma's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
