Description
Instructions: Use your mouse to play this game.
Master Checkers html5 is straightforward checkers in the browser, and the computer opponent is no pushover. Its AI is sharp, so sloppy play gets punished.
Next to the other classics in our Board Game category, it is the pick for anyone after a real contest. It works with a finger on a phone and just as well with a mouse. Captures, kings and careful planning decide every game, just as they do on a real board.
Checkers rules
Pieces move diagonally forward on the dark squares. Capture an opponent's piece by jumping over it into an empty square behind it. Reach the far row and your piece becomes a king, which can move backward too. Take all of the opponent's pieces, or leave them without a move, to win.
Beating the AI
- Keep your back row filled as long as you can to stop the opponent from crowning kings.
- Control the center squares.
- Look for multiple jumps before making a capture.
