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.
