About game
Jump over opponent pieces and dominate the board in Classic Checkers. You need sharp tactics to outsmart your rival in this timeless board game that rewards every clever maneuver.

Kings move with much more freedom, giving you the edge needed to clear the remaining checkers from the board. Logic keeps your defenses tight while you bait your opponent into making a mistake. Every session works as a quick mental workout that fits into a busy schedule. Play Classic Checkers for free right in your browser without any downloads required.
How to play
Select a piece and move it diagonally to an empty square. If an opponent’s piece is next to yours and there is an empty square behind it, you can jump over it and capture it. Watch the board carefully, protect your pieces, and look for strong attacking moves.
Reach the opposite side of the board to turn your piece into a king. Kings are more powerful and can help you control the board. Win the game by capturing all opponent pieces or leaving your opponent with no possible moves.
