Checkers (Draughts)

Draughts (British English) or checkers (American English) is a group of strategy board games for two players which involve diagonal moves of uniform game pieces and mandatory captures by jumping over opponent pieces. Draughts developed from alquerque, a game originating in the Middle East. The name derives from the verb to draw or to move.

• If your peón gets to the far side of the board it becomes a king (can move backwards).
• Game is won when one side captures all the opponent's peóns or the other side is unable to move.
