How to play Checkers Legend
Checkers Legend is a version of the classic board game with adjustable rules, since checkers has many regional variants. You can play against a simple computer opponent or take turns with a friend on the same device.
The basic idea is the same in all variants: move your pieces diagonally, jump and capture the opposing pieces, and reach the far end of the board to crown a piece as a king that can move in more directions.
Tips for Checkers Legend
- Keep your back row home as long as you can. It stops the opponent from crowning easily.
- Move pieces in pairs so a jump leaves you able to recapture.
- Always check your rule settings first, since rules like forced captures and whether men can capture backward change the best strategy.
- Trade pieces when you are ahead to simplify the board toward a win.
