English Checkers

English Checkers is a faithful recreation of one of the oldest board games in history, brought to the Web in your browser. Diagonal movement and required captures, the rewarding moment when a piece becomes a king all as they should be. Those deceptively straightforward rules only serve to deepen the strategic game, opening new possibilities and closing them down a few turns before you can even figure them out.
