If a player can move one of his pieces so that it <em>jumps<\/em> over an adjacent piece of their opponent and into an empty space, that player captures the opponent&#8217;s disc. Jumping moves must be taken when possible, thereby creating a strategy game where players offer up jumps in exchange for setting up the board so that they jump even more pieces on their turn. A player wins by removing all of his opponent&#8217;s pieces from the board or by blocking the opponent so that he has no more moves.<br>This game, also known as <em>Draughts<\/em>, is part of the Checkers family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <em>Official Checker Board<\/em> to be used <strong>in tournaments and official matches<\/strong> of associations like international WCDF, ACF, and APCA usually shall be colored of green and off-white (buff).
