From the developers who brought you Mr Word, Mr Checkers is a brilliant implementation of the classic board game. Taking away all the unnecessary stuff, Mr Checkers takes you straight into the game you love. There are no menus, not even a start button, you're just straight in. Click the small "i" button to access options, which are 1 or 2 player, and Easy, Medium or Hard (1 player only). You can switch between 1 and 2 player mode at any time and even change difficulty level in the middle of a game (great if you are struggling to beat Mr Checkers). This is standard English Draughts (also known as American Checkers), on an 8x8 board. No Huffing. If you can take a piece, you have to (you won't be allowed to move another piece in this instance). A draw will be automatically declared if the same board position is repeated 3 times. Mr Checkers now offers Premium Subscription. Once subscribed, all advertising is removed from the app, allowing you to enjoy the classic word game with zero distractions.
