About English Checkers

English Checkers brings the traditional draughts board to online play. Each match tests tactical thinking, because every move can create an opportunity to capture or expose one of your own pieces. You can play against another person and follow your results through a rating system and profile statistics.

The profile records wins, losses, successful captures, and the average rating of opponents, giving your matches useful context. Built-in opponent search and chat also connect players who want to discuss strategy. On desktop you use a mouse, while mobile play uses touch.
