Checkers is a two-player board game played on a square 8x8 board, alternating between light and dark colors. Each player starts with 12 pieces, usually placed on the dark squares of the three rows closest to them. The goal is to capture all of the opponent's pieces or block them so they cannot make a move. Players take turns moving their pieces diagonally, and when a piece lands on an opponent's piece, it captures it and removes it from the board. If a piece reaches the farthest row from the player, it is "kinged" and can move both forward and backward. The game ends when one player has no moves left or loses all their pieces.
