Checkers is a strategy board game for two players.

To play, the game requires the players to select one of the two options, which will determine the game mode and the rules. The most common rule is the "American Checkers/English Draughts" rule, which requires the players to follow the color and the shape of the piece. This option is the easiest to play, but it is also the most demanding, because the game requires a great amount of skill and strategy to win. The second option, which is the "International Checkers" rule, is more complex, but it is considered to be the best rule to play. It is based on the same principle, but it has a different set of pieces and it requires the players to move the pieces in the direction that the color on the piece indicates.

In this game, the players need to move their pieces on a 8×8 board, which is the most common size of the board.
