How to play
- Pieces move diagonally, always forwards, one square at a time.
- You capture by jumping diagonally over a rival piece to an empty square. If you can capture, you must (and if several captures are possible, you have to pick the one that takes the most pieces).
- Captures can be chained: if after taking a piece you can keep taking with the same piece, you must continue in the same turn.
- On reaching the rival's back row your piece is crowned (it becomes a king) and can move and capture diagonally over any distance.
- You win by leaving your rival with no pieces or no legal move. It can also end in a draw by agreement or by repetition of positions.
By number of players
- 2 players only: draughts is a one against one game and has no 3 or 4 player mode.
Modes and prizes
- Against the computer: you play bots, offline and as often as you like. It pays no coins and no experience, so it is there to practise and try out settings without risking anything.
- Against friends: you open a room and invite them by username. Here only the winner is paid, and at half rate, because you pick who you sit with.
- Online: we sit you with people from all over the world. Every place is paid, most to least, and it is the only mode that counts towards the weekly League. If the room is slow to fill, simulated players complete it; in that case the League counts half.
- Buy-in tables: online you can sit at a 100, 250, 500 or 1000 coin table. Every player puts in that amount on sitting down and the whole pot goes to the winners, with no commission. These tables only fill with real people: if they do not fill in time the table is cancelled and your buy-in is returned. Neither the gold booster nor the VIP pass multiplies the pot.
