What is "Chinese checkers"?
Chinese checkers is a board game played on a star-shaped board with 121 spaces. The game is for two to six players, and each player starts with 10 pieces placed in one of the six points of the star, which are colored differently for each player. The goal is to move all of one’s pieces from the starting point to the opposite side of the board. Players take turns moving their pieces across the board by either moving one space or jumping over other pieces, either their own or an opponent’s, to land on an empty space. The game ends when a player successfully moves all their pieces to the opposite point.
