Russian Checkers brings the traditional strategy game to life with multiple ways to play. You can challenge the computer, play online with strangers, send a private link to a friend, or even share the screen for a local match. The rules stick closely to the original Russian style - every capture is required, kings can jump across the board, and if you can keep capturing, you must. There's even a twist: the Turkish strike rule can cut your combo short if a beaten piece blocks the next jump.
Playing is simple: move your checkers forward diagonally. If you reach the other side, your piece becomes a king and can move in any direction. Captures are made by jumping over opponent pieces, and when there’s more than one capture path, you get to choose. Strategy matters here - it’s not just about jumping first but planning ahead.
Keep your back row safe until you need to move. Try to force your opponent into giving up position. And once you’ve got a king, don’t rush in - use it to control space.
