About Checkers
Standard American and English checkers on an enchanted oath-table. Ember and Frost pieces carry different flame and star seals, so play never depends on colour alone.
Choose a forgiving Emberling, the Pathfinder, the Warden or the deepest-searching Oracle. Every keeper obeys compulsory captures and complete jump chains; two players can also share one screen.
The 120 always-open Trials come from legal full games. Each has one opening that keeps a win inside the release's verified search horizon, then pits you against the strongest keeper.
Keeper cards remember your independent fewest-move and fastest-time wins. Every Trial also shows named public records for moves and time; only the first solve counts for public time.
How to play
- Move a piece one dark square diagonally forward. Reach the far edge to crown it as a king, which can also move backward.
- If a jump is available, you must capture. Keep tapping the lit landing squares until the complete jump chain ends.
- Win by taking every opposing piece or leaving the other side with no legal move. Repeated or long quiet positions are draws.
Controls
| Tap or click a piece, then a lit square | Move or follow a capture chain |

The release reconstructs all 120 Trials from legal full-game origins and independently verifies each unique bounded-search opening. Current play, draw history, records, sound and motion settings persist under morass.checkers.v1. No ads or analytics run inside the game.
