FAQs
Which checkers rules does this game use?
It uses English draughts rules on an 8 by 8 board. Men move and capture forward, kings move in both directions, and captures are required.
What changes with computer difficulty?
Higher levels search further ahead and spend a little longer comparing legal moves. Every level still follows the same forced-capture rules.
Can I play with another person?
Yes. Choose Two player to take turns with another player on the same device.
How do hints and undo work?
A hint suggests one legal move. In computer mode, Undo Turn restores the position before your latest complete turn, including the computer response.
Can I leave a computer match and return later?
Yes. You can return to continue the match. It reopens paused, so the clock does not run while you are away.
