Jumping for Joy - "Oversized Checkers"
Game Rules
How to Play: Jumping for Joy
The goal is to capture all of your opponent's pieces or block them so they have no more moves.
The First Dance: Each player starts with their 12 pieces on the dark squares of the first three rows on their side.
Make Your Move: Players take turns moving one piece diagonally forward. You can only move onto an empty dark square.
Jump for Joy! If your opponent's piece is on a square in front of you with an empty square just beyond it, you must "jump" and capture their piece.
You've Been Crowned! When one of your pieces reaches the last row on your opponent's side, it gets "crowned" and becomes a King. A King can move forward and backward, making it a powerful piece in your quest for victory!
