American Checkers, also called Draughts or "straight checkers" or English draughts, is a form of the checkers board game played on an 8x8 board with 12 pieces on each side that may only initially move and capture diagonally forwards. Only when a checkers piece is "kinged" may it move backwards.
Checkers is a game of skill played by two players. The object of the game is to prevent the opponent from being able to move when it is his turn to do so. This is accomplished either by capturing all of the opponent's Checkers, or by blocking those that remain so that none of them can be moved. If neither player can accomplish this, the game is a draw
