Chinese Checkers in a minute
Chinese Checkers is a race across a star-shaped board for two, three, four or six players. Hop over pieces, chain jumps together and fill the opposite triangle first.
- Move one piece on your turn.
- Step to a neighbouring hole or jump over another piece.
- Chain several jumps with the same piece when you can.
- Win by moving all your pieces into the opposite triangle.
Your own pieces and your opponents' both work as bridges, and a long jump chain usually beats a slow single step. The full rules explain every jump.
