Draughts – Board Game

Draughts is the classic board game for two players on an 8 × 8 board: twelve pieces each, moving diagonally, capturing and crowning kings. Capture all of your opponent's pieces or block them to win. HOW IT WORKS • Two players, twelve pieces each, 32 dark squares • Moving: a piece moves one square diagonally forward onto an empty square • Capturing: you jump over an opposing piece and remove it; capturing is compulsory, backwards too, and multiple jumps are possible • Kings: a piece that reaches the far row is crowned and may also move and capture backwards • Flying kings: a king may move any distance along a diagonal (can be switched off in the settings) • A draw when the same position occurs three times or when nothing is captured or crowned for a long time GAME MODES • Alone against the computer in four levels: Beginner, Medium, Hard and Expert • Two players on one device, taking turns • Online against another person: share a code or invite saved partners, with a turn limit (or none) and optional notifications; if someone stays away for long, the computer can take over the seat RULES YOUR WAY • Flying kings on or off • Random or fixed first player • Time per turn: off, 30, 60 or 120 seconds • The complete rules are in the app COMFORT • Tap the board to select and move a piece; possible targets are highlighted • Colour-blind mode: pieces that are easier to tell apart • Several table colours • Sounds can be switched on and off one by one • Your offline game is saved so you can continue later • Statistics for your games against the computer • German and English, switchable in the app ONLINE MODE The online mode is optional and needs a confirmed email address. There is a limited number of free online games per week; an optional subscription (Premium) lifts that limit. Offline you play without an account and without internet. No advertising and no analytics or tracking services are included. Played for fun, not for money. You will find the privacy policy, terms of use and legal notice in the app menu.
