Description

Turkish Draughts introduces a fresh twist to the classic game of checkers. Unlike traditional versions, moves and captures are performed horizontally and vertically, transforming your strategic approach from the get-go. With a unique starting formation, each player commands 16 checkers across a vibrant 64-cell board. This variant allows players to face off against smart AI, compete with friends on a single device, or challenge opponents worldwide. Embark on this exciting strategic journey, which promises to keep you on the edge of your seat with its compelling rules and multiple playing options.

How to Play

In Turkish Draughts, the player with the white checkers moves first. A standard checker advances one square horizontally or vertically, while the queen glides any number of empty squares in any major direction. Capturing is mandatory: a standard checker takes an opponent directly in front or beside it, and a queen can reach distant checkers if the path is clear. Once a checker's movement reaches the eighth row, it is promoted to a queen. Aim to eliminate all opponent checkers or render them immobile to claim victory!

Tips and Tricks

To excel in Turkish Draughts, prioritize positioning your checkers closer to becoming queens, as they offer greater maneuverability. Force your opponent into making poor moves by establishing strategic traps that maximize captures. Keep an eye on the opponent's moves to anticipate and block their advances. Always capture when possible, but consider the repercussions of your placement post-capture. In multiplayer mode, study other players' tactics to refine your strategy. Remember, patience and calculated moves often win the day!
