Object of the game
The object of Checkers is to capture all your opponent's pieces, or to prevent your opponent from being able to move any of its pieces; either situation meets the victory conditions.

Moves and captures
A move is made forward to an adjacent open square; a capture is made by jumping forward over an adjacent opponent's piece into a vacant square. You must jump and capture an opponent's piece whenever possible (or when the opportunity arises). You will not be allowed to make another move until you make a capture when it is available to you. If you can continue to jump and make multiple captures, you must do so and take all the pieces.

King
A single checker piece is made a "king" when it has successfully reached the opponent's back or "starting" row. A king is denoted by K letter. Kings may move and capture diagonally forward and backward. Single pieces may capture kings.

If you don't want to make a move, press Pass button.

In the Preferences you can select one of four skills levels: Easy, Intermediate, Expert and Impossible, set sound level. And even more, you can set a Game type: Checkers or Give Away (you have to Give Away your pieces). So, you get two games for the price of one.
