Basic Board Game

Checkers Draughts Game is a board game created by Bytewise Computer Solutions. The game is simple and classic. It has no extra contents or gimmicks, other than the selectable difficulty level. Players compete against the artificial intelligence on a virtual board.

Same Game Different Names

Draughts is also called Checkers. The only difference is their regional name. Americans call it checkers while Britsh English call it draughts. Its etymology came from the term “to draw or move”. Some of the other regional names of draughts are dame, dames, damas, or dum. The two-player game involves moving black or white game pieces in a diagonal manner. Players attempt to capture all enemy pieces by jumping over them. Each piece is called men or stone. When a “men” reaches the opposite side of the board, it gets promoted into a stronger piece called queen or dama. Its origins came from the Middle Eastern board game Alquerque or Qirkat. The variation that Draughts took from Alquerque is the removal of the forward movement. Draughts come in variation, ranging from rules to board size and number of game pieces. Anyone can learn to play it in a few sessions. Draught’s universal gameplay makes it a classical board game enjoyed worldwide. The other allure of the board game is the mathematical possibilities or variation of a solved or predetermined game. Machines were used in decades to create the most optimal solved game pattern.
