This version of checkers is also know as 'American checkers', or 'English draughts'. It differs from 'international draughts' (a.k.a. 'Polish draughts') not only in board size (8 x 8 fields rather than 10 x 10). The game rules also differ significantly. In assuming that you are familiar with the game rules for international draughts, the differences between international draughts and American checkers are listed as follows:

1. The darker color (in this version, black) moves first.

2. When a piece ('man') reaches the opposite side of the board, an extra piece is stacked on top. This double piece is then called a 'king'.

3. Men can move one step forward (diagonally), kings can move ONLY ONE STEP forward or backward (also diagonally).

4. Men can capture multiple opponent pieces in one turn only in a forward direction, kings can capture them in both directions.

5. If a man is promoted to a king ('kinged', or 'crowned'), the turn ends. The new king must wait for another turn to capture a piece.
