How to play:

     The game of checkers is played with two people. Each player has a set of twelve discs called checkers. One set is black and the other is either white or red. The checkers are placed on a board with white and black squares. The checkers can only go on the black squares. There are 64 equal square spaces on this board.

The object of the game is to clear the board of the opponent’s checkers or block their checkers so they cannot be moved. You may move diagonally only, one square at a time. Or you can jump over the opponent’s checker and then remove it from the board. If there is an empty space, and then another checker you can jump over it also and remove it. This is called double jump. When either side gets to the opposite it is crowned. A second checker is placed on top. And called king. A king also has to move diagonally but can move either backward or forward.
