How to Play International Draughts
Board Setup
International Draughts uses a 10×10 board (larger than checkers!). Each player starts with 20 pieces placed on the dark squares of the first 4 rows.
Basic Movement
Regular Pieces: Move diagonally forward one square at a time to an empty dark square.
Capturing: Jump over an opponent's piece diagonally to capture it. Captures are mandatory!
Backward Capture: Unlike American Checkers, regular pieces CAN capture backwards in Draughts!
Flying Kings
When a piece reaches the opponent's back row, it becomes a King(marked with a crown).
Flying Kings can move any number of squares diagonally in any direction - like a Bishop in Chess!
Kings can land on any empty square after capturing, giving them incredible range.
Maximum Capture Rule
Multiple Jumps: If you can continue jumping after a capture, you must keep jumping.
Maximum Capture: If multiple capture sequences are available, you must choose the one that captures the most pieces.
This rule makes Draughts more tactical than Checkers!
How to Win
Capture all your opponent's pieces or block them so they have no legal moves. With 20 pieces per side and the maximum capture rule, games are often longer and more strategic than American Checkers. The flying Kings make endgames especially exciting!
Pro Tips
Protect Your Kings
Flying Kings are powerful! Protect them and use their range to control the board.
Control the Center
Central pieces have more movement options and can reach both sides quickly.
Plan Multi-Jumps
Set up chain captures. Sometimes sacrificing one piece leads to capturing three!
