Players cannot end their turn with one of their pegs in another player's starting or destination triangle. Once a peg reaches an open space in a player's destination triangle, it cannot be moved out of that triangle for the remainder of the game, but it can be moved within the triangle.
Each player is trying to move their pegs to the triangle directly across from them on the board. Unlike traditional checkers, hopped pieces are not removed from the board in Chinese checkers. If a player does hop a piece, they may continue to hop pieces as long as there is an empty space on the other side to land on, and they may change directions while hopping if they'd like. When 3 play, one empty point is left between each player. Players may also hop a peg and land in an open space on the opposite side, regardless of the color of the peg, as long as they’re moving their piece in a straight line. When 2 players play, they set up in points opposite each other. A peg may be moved to any adjacent space as long as it’s open. For a longer game, each player can play two sets of marbles. Each turn consists of a player moving one peg. Three players - Each player moves to the opposite triangle on the board. Then, everyone flips a coin to see who goes first. To play, each player starts by choosing a colored peg and setting their pieces up in the designated triangle that matches their color. Practice: if you play a lot against a lot of different players, you will get better.Chinese checkers is a fun board game played with 2, 3, 4, or 6 players where players try to move their 10 pieces, called pegs, across the board to occupy all 10 of the destination holes on the opposite side of the board. Plan ahead and try to look at every possible move before you take your turn. Try to keep your pieces on the back row or king row for as long as possible, to keep the other player from gaining a king. Pieces on the sides are valuable because they can't be jumped.ĭon't bunch all your pieces in the middle or you may not be able to move, and then you will lose. Sacrifice 1 piece for 2: you can sometimes bait or force the opponent to take one of your pieces enabling you to then take 2 of their pieces. If neither player can move then it is a draw or a tie. You win the game when the opponent has no more pieces or can't move (even if he/she still has pieces).
Once a piece is kinged, the player must wait until the next turn to jump out of the king row. King pieces can move in both directions, forward and backward. Game board The chinese checkers board is shaped like a star with 6 points. Another piece is placed onto that piece so it is now two pieces high. Chinese checkers may be played by 2, 3, 4 or 6 players. If you get a piece across the board to the opponent's king row, that piece becomes a king. *** note: if you have a jump, you have no choice but to take it. You can do multiple jumps if they are lined up in the forward direction. If there is one of the opponent's pieces next to a piece and an empty space on the other side, you jump your opponent and remove their piece. Pieces are always moved diagonally and can be moved in the following ways:ĭiagonally in the forward direction (towards the opponent) to the next dark square. Each player takes their turn by moving a piece. Typically the darker color pieces moves first. Sometimes the pieces are black and red or red and white. There are six possible adjacent moves at the beginning of the game. Figure 2 shows moves to adjacent locations from the starting position of the game. Each Checkers player has different colored pieces. In the game of Chinese Checkers there are two types of moves that can be performed, moves to an adjacent location, or hops over adjacent pieces to non-adjacent locations. The pieces are placed on every other dark square and then staggered by rows, like shown on the board. Each triangle is a different colour and there are six sets of ten pegs with. The interior of the board is a hexagon with each side five holes long.
Each point of the star is a triangle consisting of ten holes (four holes to each side). Checkers is a board game played between two people on an 8x8 checked board like the one shown below.Įach player has 12 pieces that are like flat round disks that fit inside each of the boxes on the board. The Chinese Checkers board is in the shape of a six pointed star.
