How to play Chinese Checkers
Race all ten of your marbles from your home point of the star into the opposite point. The first player to fill the opposite corner wins.
Moving
- On your turn move one marble: either a single step into an adjacent empty hole, or a series of hops.
- A hop jumps over one adjacent marble (any colour) into the empty hole directly beyond it. You may keep hopping as long as you can, and stop wherever you like.
- Tap (or click) one of your marbles to see every hole it can reach — small dots show the destinations. Tap a dot to move; the marble hops along the path.
Players
Press New game to choose 2, 3, 4 or 6 players and set each seat to Human or Computer. With 3 players everyone races into an empty corner. Your game is saved automatically and resumed next time.
Blocking rule
If opponents leave marbles sitting in your target corner, you still win once every hole of that corner is filled and at least one of them is yours.
Tips
Build "ladders" of marbles with gaps between them so you can make long hopping chains, and don't leave a straggler behind at home — the last marble is often the slowest.
