Games - Pool checkers

Pool checkers, also called "American pool checkers", is a variant of draughts, mainly played in the southeastern United States.

Basic rules

The game is played on an 8x8 board with the double corner (corner without a checker) to each players right. The opponent playing the dark pieces will start the game by making the first move. A player must capture an opponent's checker when possible (both forward and backward), but if two possibilites exists, the player may choose the sequence (even if one sequence has more jumps). Kings are flying kings. If the condition arises that one player has three kings and the other has just one king, the player who has the three kings must win within thirteen moves (even if the fourteenth move is a capture). The pieces are not removed until all jumps are completed and the players hand is removed from his piece. A player may not capture an opponent more than one time. A player may not capture his own pieces.

Flying kings description

The King can jump any number of squares forward and backward as long as one square is empty past the opponent. The King can make right turns after a jump and continue along another path after successfully taking an opponent. The King must also make all the possible jumps during a sequence.
