## How to play Checkers

2. On a phone: Tap your checker and a highlighted square. Online opens rooms. Sound effects and music have separate buttons.

## About Checkers

The game runs in a browser on a phone, tablet or computer without installing an app. Gold and red pieces sit on a textured table, and you can change the table style while keeping the current position.

How do you play? Each side starts with twelve pieces on the dark squares. A man moves one square diagonally forward and can capture both forward and backward. Capturing is compulsory. When several capture sequences are available, you must choose one that takes the greatest number of pieces. Captured pieces remain blockers until the entire sequence ends. A man that finishes its move on the opponent's back row becomes a king. Kings travel diagonally through any number of empty squares.

You win by capturing every opposing piece or leaving your opponent without a legal move. The game is drawn when the same position occurs three times with the same side to move. A draw also follows fifteen moves by each side made only with kings, without a capture or a man move.

Tap your piece, then tap a highlighted destination. The board shows mandatory captures and whose turn it is. On a computer, use a mouse or move between squares with Tab and confirm with Enter. Three computer difficulty levels let you practice basic moves or work on longer tactical combinations. The hotseat option lets two people take turns on the same board.

To play with a friend, choose Online on the game page, create a room and share its code or invitation link. The server validates moves and the result and stores the game state. After a match, Play again opens the lobby for another game. Separate sound effects and music controls let you keep one channel while muting the other. Choose a light or dark appearance and switch between Club, Wood and Tournament table styles. Interface text is available in Polish and English.

## Do I need to install anything

No. Checkers runs in the same browser tab you are reading now. There is no store download, no account and no e-mail to give. The game is free and stays free.

Your score and progress are saved on your device, not only on our server, so you see your record when you come back.

- **No malicious code, no third-party ads.** Crypto miners, tab hijacking, phishing, foreign ad networks: the package is rejected, a repeat closes the account. I confirm: my package has no malicious code and no third-party ads.
- **Players may record your game.** By publishing, you agree that players record clips from your game and show them on klyo — always with the game's name and a link to it. The rights to the game stay yours: this permits showing GAMEPLAY, not copying the game. Every clip sends players straight to you.
- **No rating trades.** Asking for a playtest and honest feedback: yes. Trading stars on Google Play and the App Store: no, it breaks the stores' rules.
- **Content 12+.** No pornography, hate or unlabelled realistic violence. The content questionnaire next to a game must tell the truth.
- **Reports and appeals.** Anyone can report a violation; we take content down within 24 hours with a statement of reasons, and you have two working days to appeal.
- **Money.** 70% of the ad revenue next to your game, bank transfer from 100 PLN, details only at payout, never an ID scan.

- **It is your gameplay.** You post a recording from a game you played yourself. No one else's videos, nothing taken from other services.
- **Everyone sees the caption.** No insults, threats or personal data — yours or anyone else's. The clip and the caption are public.
- **Content 12+.** No pornography, hate or realistic violence. The portal is for players of every age.
- **Reports.** Anyone can report a violation. We take content down within 24 hours with reasons, and you have two working days to appeal.
