An old game, Chinese checkers is simple in
concept and complex in strategy, making it
perfect for young and old alike.
To play, each player picks a set of 10 like
colored marbles and places them on the spaces
filling one of the star points. When two play,
players take opposite points. For three, every
other point, etc. The goal is to be the first
player to advance all of his/her marbles to
the point opposite of the starting point.
No marbles are ever removed from the board.
Each player may move only one marble per turn.
A move may be one hole in any direction, or,
by jumping another marble, in a straight line.
Jumping moves may continue in a series of
several jumps, either in a straight line or
a zig-zag pattern so long as each hop is along
a straight line and over only one marble at
a time.
