Step by step

  1. Open JoinPal

    Tap Play on this page or open @Joinpalbot in Telegram. JoinPal opens in a few seconds on your phone or computer.

    Tap Checkers on the home screen, choose a friend as your opponent and pick the rules: English, Russian, Brazilian or International.

  3. Invite your friend

    Create the invitation and send the one-time link, or invite someone you have played before directly in the app.

    When your friend accepts, the board opens for both of you. The server accepts only legal moves, so when a capture is possible you must take it.

The rules in short

Pieces move diagonally forward on the dark squares and capture by jumping over an opponent's piece. Capturing is compulsory. A piece that reaches the far row becomes a king. You win when your opponent has no pieces left or cannot move.
