Play a game of standard checkers against the computer, a friend on the same device, or someone over the internet. To play the game, each player moves one of their checkers diagonally, one square at a time. If one of the other player's checkers is on a diagonal square next to yours, then you can capture it, if the next square behind it is empty. To win the game, you need to capture all of the other player's checkers.
