Chinese Checkers board with a selected piece and legal landing spaces highlighted

Before the first jump

Select a piece and the board marks every legal landing. The highlighted holes shown here are the moves available to the selected piece. There are no captures; the first player to move all ten pieces into the opposite triangle wins.

Move one space

Move a piece into any neighbouring empty hole.

Jump over any adjacent piece

If the hole directly beyond an adjacent piece is empty, you can jump into it. You can jump over your own pieces or another player's pieces.

Chain several jumps in one turn

After a jump, continue to another highlighted landing when a legal jump is available, or end your turn there.

Questions before the first jump

Is Chinese Checkers the same as Checkers?

No. Chinese Checkers uses a star-shaped board, pieces move in six directions, and nothing is captured.

How many people can play?

This version supports two, three, four, or six players.

Can I jump over another player's piece?

Yes. Any occupied adjacent hole can act as a bridge when the hole directly beyond it is empty.

Do I have to complete every possible jump?

No. Continue through another highlighted landing or end the turn when the current route is complete.
