With augmented reality, you can play the checkers within the real world. Whether on a coffee table or a kitchen table, on the beach or in bed. You can play anywhere your phone detects a surface. Play against a friend and or the finely tuned AI with multiple levels of play for fun at any level. If you are a fan of checkers you will love this game. Checkers starts on an 8x8 board with 12 pieces on each side. These pieces may only initially move and capture diagonally forwards. Only when a piece is "crowned" or "kinged" may it move both backwards or forwards. The opponent's pieces are captured by jumping over them. A player wins by capturing all of the opposing player's pieces, or by leaving the opposing player with no legal moves.
