The Giant Checkers Game Rules
The rules for giant checkers are identical to those of regular checkers, with the only difference being the size of the board and the pieces.
The Game Pieces
Each piece is referred to as a checker. Checkers are flat, disk-shaped pieces, with 12 red and 12 black checkers included in the set.
The Giant Checkerboard
Commonly known as a checkerboard, it may also be referred to as a checker board or chequerboard in British English. In the UK and some other countries, it is called a draughtboard, and the game is known as “draughts.” The board is square, featuring 64 alternating light and dark squares. The light squares are typically red or white, while the dark squares are almost always black. In standard play, only the dark squares are used.
Giant Checkers Game Setup
The player with the black checkers places them on the first three rows of dark squares. Conversely, the player with the red checkers positions them on the first three rows of dark squares on the opposite side of the board.
How to Play Giant Checkers
The game is played between two players. Start by deciding who will use the red pieces and who will use the black ones. Since the player with the black checkers moves first, you might want to flip a coin to determine who gets that color. To ensure fairness, players should switch colors after each game. The player with the black checkers begins by moving one piece forward diagonally by one square, followed by the other player doing the same. Only the dark squares are used, and all movements are diagonal.
The objective is to capture all of your opponent’s pieces by jumping over them with your own. You can jump over an opponent’s checker only if your checker is on a square adjacent to theirs and the square directly beyond theirs is empty. After jumping, you may continue to jump over additional opponent’s checkers until no further moves are possible. Once you jump over an opponent’s checker, remove it from the board.
Checkers always move forward diagonally and never backward, except when a checker is promoted to a king. A checker becomes a king when it reaches the last row on the opposite side of the board. To mark it as a king, you can place a captured checker of the same color on top of it or else flip the piece over. Our giant checkers can be turned upside down or stacked to indicate they are kings. Kings can move both backward and forward, but always diagonally. The game concludes when one player captures all of the opponent’s checkers or when the opponent has no legal moves left.
